2022 Talent Pipeline Report

The Colorado Workforce Development Council (CWDC) released the 2022 Talent Pipeline Report on Dec. 13, 2022. This ninth iteration of the Talent Pipeline Report analyzes and explains labor market information, highlights talent development strategies, and provides data-informed opportunities to enhance the talent pipeline in Colorado.

The Talent Pipeline Report provides data and strategies to inform the development of legislation and policies as well as the implementation of existing work. The data show that Colorado’s workforce continues to be a strength. Opportunities exist now for Coloradans to move into good jobs, and our continued focus on the talent pipeline will ensure that equity is increased statewide and that Colorado works for all.

Additional progress was made through the passage of bills in the 2022 Legislative Session to enhance the connections between our state’s education and workforce system. Bold ideas are being developed by local and state experts that can modernize our approaches to skill development and ensure those efforts are responsive to the needs of industry.

Opportunities moving forward build upon previous legislation, policies, and programs. These approaches are levers in our continued work to enhance our talent development system to meet the needs of businesses, job seekers, workers, and learners to support a Colorado for all.
