The traditional supply and demand relationship between the education and employment sectors is no longer sustainable. Successful communities come to this conclusion time and time again, and realize that they must redesign their local talent system to achieve community prosperity.

The 10 Steps to Building Talent offers ten clear actions that all partnerships should take to prepare their residents for today’s and tomorrow’s economy. Each action is backed by one or more examples from Talent Hubs, giving leaders and practitioners a tangible point of reference as they embark on systems redesign.
The ten steps include:
