By Eric Shepherd, Executive Director, Foundation for Talent Transformation
Every strong workforce system begins with a shared mission: helping people understand themselves, connect meaningfully with others, and preparing for the future of work. That mission drives us at the Foundation for Talent Transformation. We’re a nonprofit organization that provides free, research-based assessments and AI-powered guidance to support self-awareness, career readiness, and lifelong learning.
For workforce development boards, training providers, and local organizations, partnering with the Foundation creates a direct bridge to tools that help individuals identify their strengths, build confidence, and navigate change. Together, we can help job seekers not only find work but thrive in it.
Why Partnerships Matter
The future of work demands adaptability, empathy, and continuous learning. Workforce systems that integrate self-awareness tools into their services help participants uncover what motivates them, how they collaborate, and what kinds of work environments bring out their best. These insights increase engagement, improve training outcomes, and lead to better job matches.
By partnering with the Foundation for Talent Transformation, organizations can embed free assessments into their orientation or coaching programs, giving individuals a personalized starting point. Participants gain insights into their personality, values, and communication styles, while practitioners receive data that informs coaching and supports goal setting.
How Partnership Works
Partnership is simple and flexible. The Foundation provides:
- Free online assessments help individuals explore their career readiness, vocational interests, emotional intelligence, adaptability, and personal priorities.
- Customized access links for organizations to share with participants, allowing them to take assessments easily via a phone, tablet, or computer.
- AI-enabled guidance through the My Talents app and a conversational guide, which offer personalized coaching based on assessment results.
Shared Impact
When workforce professionals integrate these tools, they help job seekers connect the dots between who they are and where they want to go. Programs become more individually focused, data-informed, and scalable. Participants leave with more than a resume; they leave with a sense of purpose and the confidence to adapt to whatever the future brings.
Takeaways
