We know that useful data about which skillsets a modern workforce actually needs are hard to come by, and that change is tough to navigate for any occupation. We're designing this taxonomy to help leaders, partners, and career planners across fields anticipate and map that change—and then work to close skills and other planning gaps. Scroll down to explore an example of the kinds of tools we hope to build and test with partners (in this case, for federal permitting talent).
See yourself in any of the following work areas? If so, we want to hear from you:
🌲 Field and Technical Staff: Entry-level technicians, field staff, and specialized technical roles requiring foundational to operational competencies
📋 Management and Coordination: Mid-level practitioners, program coordinators, and project managers integrating multiple skill domains
🏇 Leadership and Strategy: Senior planners, policy experts, and executives setting organizational direction and cross-sector partnerships or strategic initiatives
⛏️ Community-Based: Volunteers, community stewards, and local knowledge holders contributing to environmental outcomes through diverse pathways
Do you work on or around policy and care about around tech talent in government, innovation, and reform to improve delivery for people and the environment? Same! We know how plagued by barriers and systemic issues government hiring, workforce planning, and deployment have been in recent years—especially when it comes to getting and retaining the technical talent needed to leverage data and digital tools.
Budget shortfalls and on-going staff reductions compound those barriers, and make placing “bets” on any solutions doubly challenging. If you're interested in building strategies to change that status quo, let's talk.
