Talent Development Technical Assistance Pilot
Case study overview
The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically reshaped the workforce ecosystem in Washington, DC, and across the country. As the DC business community has pursued recovery, the persistent worker shortage has continued to impact businesses in every sector. Chronic understaffing and high employee turnover have continued to stime business recovery. In response to this unprecedented need, the DC Workforce Investment Council (WIC) released the Talent Development Technical Assistance (TDTA) RFP in the fall of 2022.
The purpose of the grant was to support Washington, DC employers in adopting inclusive hiring and talent development practices in their businesses to help meet the unprecedented employment demand.
District Bridges was selected as the implementation partner for the TDTA pilot program, to support the WIC in developing a suite of business-facing tools and resources for District businesses and support them in connecting to the broader workforce ecosystem in the city.
