About

The Philadelphia Region Talent Acquisition and Retention Project Team will energize and engage the greater Philadelphia Region economy by creating and sustaining a maritime and defense industrial base focused Talent Acquisition and Retention pipeline enabling EMPLOYERS to re-capitalize their workforce through recruiting, hiring, training, and retaining skilled workforce members with critical trade skills for one year as productive and engaged new employees.   

The Workforce Pipeline Model:  The purpose of the Philadelphia Region Workforce Master Plan is to explain the integrated and synchronized partnership which transforms the traditional career and technical education (CTE) paradigm by redefining the customer, supplier, product relationship.  In the traditional model, the CTE student is the customer, and the product “sold” to employers is CTE graduates with training and certificates seeking employment.  In this new Talent Acquisition and Retention Pipeline Solution model, the customers are the employers. The product is an energized local economy in which employers are enabled to operate a more profitable and productive business by hiring and retaining better employees.  The suppliers are the Career & Technical Education (CTE) programs who enroll students and produce skilled candidates primarily for entry-level positions.
