Regional Tech Talent Forums were conducted in May 2016 in six regions with more than 40 employers offering their knowledge and insight during these discussions. 58 public partners participated and are working to respond to businesses needs to help build a more robust IT talent pipeline.
Forums identified critical job functions that most impact employers’ long-term competitiveness; typical job families and paths to progression within and across occupations; key competencies required to perform effectively in critical occupations; potential actions that would address priority talent gaps; informing the development of a regional career pathways action plan; and where deeper discussion is warranted.
The information gathered at the forums will be reflected on updated career pathway maps on the Careers in Colorado website discussed below.
