Our Core Competencies
Strategic Planning
We help regions and organizations define a clear path forward by aligning economic development, workforce needs, education systems, and community priorities. Our strategic planning process is grounded in data, informed by stakeholders, and focused on implementation—not just vision.
Housing Assessments & Strategic Plans
Strong communities require housing solutions that match workforce needs and economic realities. TPMA conducts in-depth housing assessments and develops strategic plans that address availability, affordability, and long-term sustainability.
Stakeholder Engagement
Effective strategies are built with the people they impact. TPMA designs and facilitates inclusive engagement processes that bring diverse voices to the table, build consensus, and translate shared priorities into actionable outcomes.
Evaluations
We provide objective, practical evaluations that measure program effectiveness, identify opportunities for improvement, and support informed decision-making. Our evaluation work helps partners understand what’s working, what’s not, and how to maximize impact.
Talent Pipeline Development
From education and training to employment and retention, TPMA strengthens talent pipelines that meet current and future workforce demands. We work with partners to design systems that connect people to opportunity and employers to skilled talent.
Economic Impact & Childcare Analysis
Childcare is a critical economic driver. TPMA analyzes the economic impact of childcare systems to help communities, employers, and policymakers understand gaps, quantify need, and make informed investment decisions.
