TALENT SHARE 2.0

The first iteration of the Purdue Together: Talent Sharing program met an urgent need and filled employment gaps during the pandemic. The new version of the program, Talent Share 2.0, embraces the value of job rotation and career development.

Employees may consider participating in Talent Share as a way of developing skills for their current role or as a means to expand their skill set for future roles. Host departments benefit from the process as well, by sharing best practices and having additional talent to move projects and initiatives forward.

Talent Share provides a platform for implementing the development goals identified during an employee’s annual performance management meeting. Supervisors and employees are encouraged to discuss how the employee may benefit from the program, as well as the department’s support for the activity. Reference the Talent Share Manager Guide for things to consider for a meaningful Talent Share experience.

The program is designed to match employee participants to both current and future development opportunities. Human Resources’ Talent Acquisition Team will manage the program and identify where desired professional growth matches up with host opportunities. Project communication and coordination will be facilitated through the program’s Careers website, Purdue Together: Talent Sha
