Closing the Skills Gap
The skills gap can best be described as the difference between the skills needed to perform in-demand, hard-to-fill jobs and the skills exhibited by the candidate pool.
Tampa Bay Works addresses the skills gap by helping employers identify the specific skills, abilities and behaviors needed to perform hard-to-fill jobs, then helping them clearly communicate those needs to regional talent providers.
This process drives purposeful action from the workforce development system to strengthen and develop talent pipelines.
