TPM Academy® Roseville
The application window for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s TPM Academy® Roseville is now open. This greater Sacramento-focused cohort is hosted in coordination with the Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce and facilitated by U.S. Chamber Foundation staff and recognized TPM Faculty.
Academy Overview
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. The TPM Academy is facilitated by the U.S. Chamber
of Commerce Foundation and 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
on behalf of their employer collaborative members.
In partnership with the Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce, the TPM Academy Roseville will bring together workforce leaders from across the Greater Sacramento region over a six-month period to develop TPM solutions that will support the students, workers, and businesses in their community.
The Roseville Area Chamber of Commerce understands that workforce development is one of the most important challenges for employers. While our region is well positioned for tremendous economic growth, future goals will be out of reach without qualified and skilled workers. Employer and industry-led partnerships are vital for addressing current skills gaps, identifying increased cross-functional and fundamental workplace skills, and creating the workforce pipeline of the future. The Talent Pipeline Management (TPM) program will engage local employers and educators to actively build talent and improve the skills of incumbent employees.
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.
