HERNESS THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIP

The Kinetic Potential (KP) Network, established by the Digital Network Group, is a membership network comprised of organizations from the government, academic, faith-based, nonprofit and corporate sectors, who share their knowledge and resources to develop human capital for the 21st century workforce. The shared mission is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of existing efforts by adopting a common framework for the implementation, governance and tracking of academic, social and professional development services. This standardization and integration of community stakeholders into a “talent supply chain” maximizes capital and improves the ability to scale solutions for at-risk and under served populations.

Customer's Opportunity

Tour definition of customers are the participants receiving talent development services; the "supply" of talent. Participants are sponsored by agencies that have oversight of at-risk populations and a mandate to prepare their constituency for independent living and a career in the 21st century workforce. Public schools systems, workforce agencies and juvenile justice departments are common partners and considered the "suppliers' of talent.

Educators and service providers Opportunity

Educators and service providers deliver the value added steps required to advance participants through the talent pipeline. These entities are generally academic institutions, government agencies, npos and corporations.

Employers Opportunity

Employers create workforce demand and specify the requirements that drive KP's Talent Portfolios. Our highly customized approach is designed to increase the supply and caliber of talent available to meet our employer partner's workforce needs. All organizations with a compensated workforce are classified as employers and benefit from an improved talent supply chain.

Funders and Supporters Opportunity

Funders and Supporters are institutions that share our commitment to developing students for the 21st century workforce. These organizations provide the financial capital that funds a participant's participation in talent development services. Employers, Foundations, Government Agencies and Social Impact Investors are common partners; the collaboration model improves the return on investment by distributing the cost of developing talent across multiple partners.

Individual/ Affinity Group Opportunity

Citizens and organized groups that live and work in communities contribute as volunteers or program staff supporting talent development efforts. Community Service Organizations, Student Groups and Professional Associations are common partners.
