TPM Academy of Alberta

The TPM Academy® is a training developed by the U.S. Chamber Foundation that seeks to enhance partnerships between employers and their talent supply chain partners. Facilitated by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, the TPM Academy is supported by a customized curriculum that serves as an employer handbook giving participants the knowledge, skills and abilities to implement talent supply chain solutions.

In partnership with the Alberta Chambers of Commerce and the Government of Alberta, the TPM Academy will bring together a cross-sector cohort of professionals—from government, nonprofits, industry, chambers, and postsecondary institutions—to advance workforce development across the province. As Alberta’s first TPM cohort, this Academy supports a broader initiative to address labor market challenges and foster inclusive economic growth.

Participants will engage with the TPM curriculum, collaborate through peer learning, and apply strategies in real-world settings. The Alberta Chambers of Commerce Talent Development Task Force will support this effort with data from over 3,000 businesses and province-wide collaboration.

All participants in the TPM Academy are required to commit to attending all the training sessions listed below. Each training will consist of lecture, group work, and community application. We recognize that attending the Academy alone will not result in change for your community—it will require your commitment to identifying, developing, and integrating tactics throughout your approach. Upon graduating the TPM Academy you will become part of the National Learning Network, a collaborative group that will support your efforts beyond your TPM Academy experience.
