COMPONENTS OF A CUSTOMIZED TALENT SUPPLY CHAIN EnterpriseKC has developed a series of integrated software platforms, that together form the components of a customized talent supply chain. Elements include:
THE DATASPHERE: REGIONAL WORKFORCE RESOURCE PLANNING SYSTEM
The DataSphere is the region’s integrated analytics platform—a single source of truth aggregating real-time data on open jobs, KSA requirements, employer demand, academic capacity, and labor market dynamics. Its functions include: Product Specifications: Captures and codifies employer-defined job roles and required competencies (knowledge, skills, and abilities) using standardized occupational classifications. Inventory Analytics: Includes data on all production plants, including program offerings by cluster. Capacity Planning: Tracks graduation rates and credential completions across all education and training providers to determine potential gaps between supply and demand. Production Planning: Provides a near real time view of open jobs by role and by cluster to create demand forecasts and insights to production plants to align curricula with industry demand.
TALENTSPHERE:THE TALENT DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
The TalentSphere operationalizes the supply chain, including: Demand Instantiation: Enterprises and businesses define what they need in job- ready formats, and TalentSphere distributes the most appropriate candidates in real time. Assessment Tool: Psychometrically valid tool to identify well-suited and well- potentialed aptitudes that align with industry demand. Talent Exchange: From the talent side it acts as the product distribution hub, matching talent to opportunity through an ecosystem of mentorship, internship, and full-time opportunities. From the demand side, the platforms allow enterprises and businesses to generate curated lists of well-qualified, well-suited, and well- potentialed talent.
HEARTLAND CYBER RANGE: REAL WORLD LEARNING & QUALITY CONTROL ENGINE
The Heartland Cyber Range ensures the end product—talent—is tested, refined, and validated before deployment: Learning Management System (LMS): Offers stackable, competency-based self- paced and instructor led-training tied to industry standards. Initially deployed for the cybersecurity cluster, the LMS is architected to support curricula for any cluster. Simulation Engine: Provides real-world, scenario-based hands-on learning. Again, the architecture allows cluster-specific simulation engines to be deployed in support of real-world learning and the creation of workforce ready talent. Credential Validation: Verifies performance through demonstrable skills under real- world simulated conditions, validating workforce readiness.
