Connecting People, Skills, and Jobs within Alabama
Alabama Talent Solutions is a new, industry-led, state workforce initiative. This public-private partnership will work side-by-side with the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama (EDPA), a private non-profit organization funded by more than 60 Alabama companies. Operating with the principle that economic development success is predicated on workforce development success and vice-versa, Alabama Talent Solutions will initially focus on creating and evolving forums to promote and advance our state’s workforce efforts.
