Field Test Example for Workforce Boards: AAWDC Staff Tries Out TalentPass for Profile-Building
The AAWDC team wants to see if TalentPass can enhance the way they help job seekers. This field test will enable staff to try TalentPass for creating professional profiles, organizing client experiences, and helping clients develop their job-ready portfolios. The goal: see how TalentPass can streamline the profile-building process and support clients in showcasing their skills.
Initial Zoom Call with TalentPass Training
The AAWDC team, including career advisors and case managers, gathers on a Zoom call with a TalentPass trainer. This session introduces the platform’s profile-building features, walking through how clients can log experiences and skills and create a professional portfolio to present to employers.
Trainer: “TalentPass lets clients easily create profiles by adding experiences and skills. This is a great way to help clients develop their job portfolios.”
Testing TalentPass: Staff Create Their Own Profiles
After the Zoom training, AAWDC staff log in to TalentPass and create their own profiles to get a feel for the process. They add their own skills, certifications, and past experiences, noting any feedback they could offer job seekers.
Lena (thinking): “This could really help our clients, especially those who need more structure for organizing their experience.”
Feedback Roundtable
After trying out TalentPass, the team gathers to share feedback and discuss how they’d introduce the platform to clients. Advisors discuss specific ways TalentPass could help different clients—those with varied experiences or people re-entering the workforce.
Team Member: “This makes it easier to guide clients through building a profile that feels professional and complete, especially for those returning to work.”
Lena: “Exactly. I think our clients with diverse backgrounds could really benefit.”
Staff Introduce TalentPass to Clients
AAWDC staff begin using TalentPass with clients, guiding them through profile setup as a first step in their job search. Clients add work history, skills, and any certifications or experiences that can strengthen their applications.
Dialogue:
Client: “I didn’t know how to organize all this before. This makes it feel much more professional.”
Lena: “Exactly, and it’ll be ready for you to show employers at any time.”
