Harnessing the Web-Scale Technology to Link Learners, Programs and Careers

The term “ecosystem” is used loosely to describe the education, training, workforce, CTE, pathways, ladder and scaffolds, and the standards related content, labor data, state and outcome data, the content providers and the intermediary agencies, nonprofits and foundation. Many of these products, organizations, and programs are semi-competitive and do not facilitate learners or employer in unified way. Talent acceleration is about mapping complimentary components and collaborating for true service to learners and employers and outcomes measures for funder and government. Some configurations of the ecosystem will yield results that accelerate the process from start to outcomes. These are the measure Talent Acceleration is about.
