Each year, TMCF’s Talent Acquisition team identifies and prepares an average of 1,800 students across 47 member-school campuses around the country for success in the workplace. Of those 1,800, approximately 400 students get selected and invited to attend the Leadership Institute Conference which includes a series of individual interviews. It’s an intense challenge for the TMCF talent acquisition team charged with giving all 400 students a fair shot; using the interviews to connect students with top companies that will be an ideal skill and culture fit for both sides. I find it inspiring to see young people full of creativity, motivation and raw talent getting access to opportunities they wouldn’t have had without the kind of work TMCF is doing. Last year, TMCF raised the game even further, implementing a better way to connect students to top employers by moving from a traditional resume based process to a digital one. I sat down with Scott Lilly, VP of Programs at TMCF and President of TMCF’s Innovation and Entrepreneurship Division to discuss their new approach to identifying and coaching students for its signature Leadership Institute program.
