Deploying skills-based hiring across local and state agencies
Businesses focus on skills to find the talent they need.
The rapid adoption of new technologies has created challenges for many employers, from a shortage of skilled workers to high turnover rates, resulting in the need to change the way we hire, train and develop our workforce.
Skillful developed a set of proven tools and practices through its work in Colorado with employers and employer associations, the state of Colorado, post-secondary education institutions and local community organizations that serve job seekers and incumbent workers. These resources are now embedded in the Markle Foundation's Rework America Alliance.
Employer Trainings include:
- Attracting Talent
- Candidate Evaluation
- Selecting and Onboarding
- Employee Retention
Skillful has worked with:
- Career coaches to equip them with the tools they need to help job seekers hone existing skills or acquire new ones and connect with good jobs.
- Employers to focus their recruiting, hiring, onboarding, and training processes on skills
- Educators to ensure that students graduate with the skills they need to flourish in the 21st century economy.
