Talentx as a Community Partner

Talentx serves as the implementation arm for the Community’s Talent Framework. We work in synergy with established regional partners—including Leadership  Midland, MyPros, and GoGreat Lakes Bay—to bridge the gap between community-wide assets and the specific, high-level needs of local employers.

 

 

 

 

 Economic Development: Why MBA is Invested

As the lead agency for workforce and talent in Midland County, the MBA recognizes that talent is the primary engine of economic progress. We believe that by unifying work and non-work factors, we can address the talent life cycle holistically. Investing in these pathways is not just about filling jobs; it is about preserving our community’s heritage and embracing the future to ensure continued growth for all.
