For the first time in modern history, there are more job openings, 7 million, than there are people available and qualified to take these jobs. The reliance employers have had on the traditional “supply chain” to source their talent and fill their job openings -- high schools, colleges and universities - is no longer working as well as it might. 1 reason, by far, that Americans invest in post-high school education is to achieve good career outcomes. It’s time to re-envision a new talent supply chain. We need them to engage in building and strengthening their own talent supply chain to increase the quantity and improve the quality of talent ready to fill millions of jobs.
