Across Weld and Larimer County, Northern Colorado recognizes the importance of regionalism and the power of collaboration, specifically pertaining to talent and workforce. This is not just an idea or a grand goal, it’s the truth.
Growing from the success of the Talent 2.0 initiative, NoCo Works is composed of collaborators from across Weld and Larimer counties. A Purple Wall facilitated process was held in spring 2022, broke down complex workforce and talent issues into manageable chunks so the group could work strategically to implement motivating goals.
In fall 2022, the next step was a thorough review of strategic plans and annual reports of 50-plus organizations and initiatives who are key contributors to economic and workforce development in the region. These reiterated an overwhelming acknowledgment of regionalism which extends from business to government to nonprofits to education.
Based upon the review of existing efforts and initiatives, as well as demonstrated needs and commitment to action from key stakeholders, NoCo Works was formed. A curated steering committee will have program oversight and six subcommittees will move the work forward pertaining to regional talent and workforce development encompassing the Northern Colorado ecosystem.
