Talent Development, Retention and Attraction 2020

Talent Summit

Spring 2020

Summit includes panel discussions on how Talent Hubs are transforming communities. Partnership between the

business community, higher education and foundations.

While efforts to improve early-childhood and K-12 outcomes are vitally important, America’s communities cannot wait

a generation to build the talent they need today.

In 2013, Lumina Foundation made a significant investment in communities through the Community Partnership for

Attainment. Through this effort, 75 communities received financial support, technical assistance and guidance, and

networking and learning opportunities. The network catalyzed some incredible work, with many communities bucking

national trends in decreasing enrollment, and supporting the creation of thousands of newly credentialed residents.

Talent Hubs, a term coined in America Needs Talent, are designated communities that organize and align themselves

around goals to offer and create multiple pathways to postsecondary success, and work to retain, attract

and cultivate talent.

Partnership Panelists from Detroit (A Talent Hub City)
