The Talent Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati
The Talent Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati is a regional partnership of workforce development organizations, education and training institutions, local employers, and community partners.
Together, we are committed to strengthening the regional workforce ecosystem and creating greater collective impact for job seekers and businesses.
Our Mission and Priorities
The Talent Collaborative’s mission is to enhance collaboration among workforce partners, build capacity across systems, and improve access to services—without duplicating existing work—so that individuals succeed, employers thrive, and communities prosper.
Our work is centered around four primary priorities:
Job Quality & Employer Engagement
Empower employers to implement for their current and future workforce to the benefit of their business and the local economy as a whole
Career Navigation
Raise awareness of regional career navigation resources that reflect job seekers' lived experience through holistic, wraparound services that remove barriers and support success.
Opportunity & Access Populations
Support initiatives serving priority populations, including individuals in recovery, dislocated workers, people with disabilities, youth and young adults, and returning citizens.
Responding to Changing Economic & Workforce Conditions
Together, we are building a more connected, equitable, and effective workforce system for Greater Cincinnati.
2026 Workforce & Talent Summit
Join the Talent Collaborative of Greater Cincinnati for our Annual Workforce & Talent Summit. This year’s theme, Building and Investing in Your Future Workforce, brings together employers, educators, and workforce professionals from across the region for a day of shared learning and practical connection.
The day will include a keynote address, breakout sessions, and interactive activities designed to spark conversation and collaboration. Additional details on speakers, and sessions will be announced soon.
This Summit is partially funded by a grant from the Hamilton County Commissioners as part of American Rescue Plan Act funding.
