Talent Pipeline Director Opportunity

The Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber, Partners for a Competitive Workforce, and The Strive Partnership have joined together with many other partners to launch the Talent Pipeline Initiative to strengthen career exploration and readiness to prepare students for in-demand careers. The Talent Pipeline Initiative will build on Strive's work driving student achievement cradle-to-career, PCW's work preparing our workforce for in-demand jobs, and the Chamber's focus on growing key industry clusters in our region. Facing a growing shortage of skilled workers, our partners have identified a need to provide more robust career awareness programming, better connect employers with schools, and expand work experience opportunities for our youth. The Talent Pipeline Initiative promises to be a signature community initiative to better prepare our youth for in-demand careers.

We seek a highly skilled professional to develop and lead the Talent Pipeline Initiative. Working through the Cincinnati USA Partnership in close partnership with PCW and Strive, the Talent Pipeline Director will be responsible for all aspects of developing the initiative, including planning, gap analysis, partnership-building, implementation, and reporting.
