Breakout Session
From Farmer’s Market to SuperCenter – Evolving the Public/Private Talent Ecosystem
In-Person and Virtual Wednesday 03/26/2025 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM   Add to calendar
Intended Audience: Advanced

For decades, the Department of Defense (DoD) has used a Farmer's Market approach to talent acquisition - an opportunity is posted and a hiring manager must simply hope that the right person with the right skills comes to the marketplace and engages. To meet future mission needs and optimize talent management, DoD must transition to a more robust supercenter model that leverages an integrated, incentivized, end-to-end, whole-of-nation, data driven, and technology enabled ecosystem of companies, schools, non-profits, and government entities that create, recruit, develop, and retain an efficient and effective workforce​. The Office of the Chief Talent Management Officer (CTMO) is working towards exactly that, partnering with labor market intermediaries to implement a more proactive and strategic approach to talent management across the Department. Join this conversation with the CTMO to learn more about the People Industrial Base, early adopters in the private sector, and the technology that enables this critical ecosystem of talent.
