Let's Get
to Work.
The Tech Talent Partnership is a groundbreaking initiative designed to bridge the gap between employers and the tech talent they need.
Bridging The Gap Between Employers And The Tech Talent They Need
We are moving the needle for Cyber and Operations Technology (OT) hiring in order to protect, defend, and empower Colorado companies and citizens. The partnership is creating a reliable talent pipeline by leading with employers' needs and connecting training and education providers to drive toward outcomes and qualified hires. We know these careers lead to economic mobility and believe in building a more prosperous Colorado for all.

Why It Matters
“The skills mismatch is the basis of our leaky talent pipeline. By creating employer led career pathways we'll close the 28k open Cyber & IT jobs gap, adding $2.8B to GDP for our state.”
- Helen Young Hayes, Chair of SteerCo & Founder of Colorado Inclusive Economy
By Employers, For Employers
As an employer intermediary, TTP empowers employers to become co-creators of their talent pipelines.
We believe it's better to “Build, don't buy, to improve ROI".
Building Verified Talent Pipelines
Stacking programs and opportunities from K-12 and higher education, we leverage intelligent design to architect clear career pathways to good jobs. We recruit and prepare top talent and ensure they are career-ready, filling the reservoir for in-demand jobs through a data-driven, tech-enabled, scalable solution.
Directing the Skills, Knowledge, and Behaviors to Succeed
We aggregate employers’ most critical talent development and workforce needs, designing new or streamlined solutions that are responsive to critical roles and expand opportunities for diverse learners to succeed.
Providing Priority Access to Employer Partners
Employers can rely on this verified, quantified supply chain to fill critical roles. Our talent supply chain management solution grants priority access to reliable talent for TTP employer partners.
Streamlining Career Pathways in Cyber for Economic Impact
We believe talent is equally distributed but opportunity is not. Through strong public and private partnerships, we are streamlining educational pathways and work-based-training opportunities to top jobs, enabling economic opportunity and mobility for more Coloradans.
