Host Organization Track
This track is best for business-serving organizations dedicated to business growth and competitiveness.
What is a Host Organization?
In TPM, Host Organizations are the entity that houses and provides the staff and management support for one or more employer collaboratives. Host organizations are different from traditional intermediaries in that they are business member organizations (e.g., chambers of commerce, industry sector-based associations) or economic development organizations that are chosen or affirmed by the employer members to manage and staff employer collaboratives.
Employer Track
This track is best for employers whether they plan to implement TPM internally or as part of an employer collaborative.
What is an employer collaborative?
An Employer Collaborative is a group organized by employers, for employers, to collectively address their shared workforce needs. The collaborative is bolstered by management support provided through a new or existing employer-led organization of the collaborative members’ choice. Employer collaboratives are different from most public-private partnerships in that they are organized and managed to maximize responsiveness to employers as end-customers and to deliver an employer return on investment.
Provider Track
Who are providers?
Providers are any public or private organization that delivers education and workforce training, or any other type of talent services, to employers, learners, and job-seekers. These services include career guidance, education, training, recruiting, and job placement as well as wraparound support services. Providers can be public employment agencies (including but not limited to social services and community development), private employment and staffing agencies, high schools, community colleges, universities, proprietary schools, or community-based nonprofit organizations.
