The Talent Pipeline Report, released last month, includes several appendices with additional valuable information. Appendix E focuses on the status and impact of Colorado’s regional sector partnerships, highlighting how industry-led collaborations are transforming regional economies. From preparing to launch a quantum sector partnership in the Boulder-Denver corridor with Elevate Quantum to expanding healthcare talent pipelines in rural Larimer and Weld counties, these partnerships ensure a strong foundation for collaboration that uplifts industry-identified solutions.
Data from the report shows that in 2025, more than 900 industry partners across 20 active partnerships worked to bridge the gap between education and employment. Businesses that participated in the survey reported they established new or improved business to business relationships and 73% increased recognition or visibility within the community. Readers are encouraged to review the full 2025 Talent Pipeline Report and Appendix E to see the localized data and success stories shaping the state's workforce. These strategies continue to create higher job quality, clearer career pathways, and a more resilient Colorado.
