The Apprenticeship Illinois Leadership Team continues developing new professional development training programs to support local workforce areas with business sector outreach and apprenticeship expansion opportunities through formula funding.
Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO) announced sponsoring a Talent Pipeline Management (TPM) Co/Lab Training Program for Title I and Title III employees during the August 2023 Apprenticeship Illinois Bootcamp. DCEO will cover $2,250 per person for two training programs: TPM Co/Lab Academy and TPM Web Tool Application. Participants will complete a U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Talent Pipeline Management online Co/Lab Academy led by Kim Kuchenbrod, Illinois’ TPM Fellow and Faculty.
The training is intended for a member of the Business Service Team to learn the TPM playbook for creating local and regional business sector partnerships as outlined in the Unified State Plan and how to use the web tool for data collection and analysis. The training consists of self-paced learning and eight live learning sessions with peers over 12 weeks for 1.5-2 hours. Each session focuses on a different TPM strategy and includes a presentation from TPM faculty members and practitioners from the field.
The second training, in January 2024, will consist of four live sessions on using the online TPM web tool for survey and data collection.
