Talent 2.0: Regional Workforce Strategy Plan Release

Talent and Workforce is an essential part of a healthy economy.  As the region continues to grow, businesses and communities realize that the development, maintenance and accessibility of a talented workforce is a top priority.  Talent development is a team sport that requires public, private and educational institutions to work collaboratively to be successful. Numerous barriers keep existing residents from fully participating in the labor force. These barriers can range from access to transportation and child care to increased commute times and traffic congestion.

To begin to address this challenge, the Talent 2.0 team was established. On the team are representatives from:

• Fort Collins Area Chamber of Commerce
• City of Fort Collins Economic Health Department
• City of Loveland Economic Development Department
• Larimer County Economic Development Department
• Larimer County Workforce Center
• Loveland Chamber of Commerce
• Northern Colorado Economic Alliance
• United Way of Larimer County

We hired one of the nation’s top economic and workforce development consulting firms, TIP Strategies, to guide us in the development of a talent plan and are pleased to release that plan to public on Tuesday, February 14, at 9:30am at the Embassy Suites, in Loveland.

The event is free, but registration is requested.  Registration is available below.

We look forward to sharing with the business community a regional workforce strategy and hope that you will be able to join us.
