A regional effort to create a holistic and aligned talent & workforce network in Northern Colorado.
About us
Across Weld and Larimer County, Northern Colorado recognizes the importance of regionalism and the power of collaboration, specifically pertaining to talent and workforce. This is not just an idea or a grand goal, it’s the truth. Growing from the success of the Talent 2.0 initiative, NoCo Works is composed of collaborators from across Weld and Larimer counties. A Purple Wall facilitated process was held in spring 2022, broke down complex workforce and talent issues into manageable chunks so the group could work strategically to implement motivating goals. In fall 2022, the next step was a thorough review of strategic plans and annual reports of 50-plus organizations and initiatives who are key contributors to economic and workforce development in the region. These reiterated an overwhelming acknowledgment of regionalism which extends from business to government to nonprofits to education. Based upon the review of existing efforts and initiatives, as well as demonstrated needs and commitment to action from key stakeholders, NoCo Works was formed. A curated steering committee will have program oversight and six subcommittees will move the work forward pertaining to regional talent and workforce development encompassing the Northern Colorado ecosystem. Economic Inclusion: All community members have equal access and opportunity to utilize workforce and talent services for under-represented and minority populations. External Barriers: Advocacy and policy reform to address Transportation, Childcare, and Housing which affect access to job opportunities Business Resources: Provide a one-stop shop with resources, tangible services, and information to help local businesses Training & Development: Create regional access for businesses to provide training and development opportunities for Northern Colorado’s labor force Talent Pipeline: Holistic strategy for attracting and retaining the future workforce Work-based learning: Regional commitment to expanding internships,

Yesterday, Encore Electric, Inc. was proud to host NoCo Works, and NoCo Inspire at the Northern Colorado Work Based Learning Alliance meeting. This meeting brings employers together with educators to talk about the needs of the future in Northern Colorado. We were able to show dozens of career pathways in the electrical trade and we connected with and learned from Realizing Aptitudes and STEMblazers as we continue toe elevate the trades.

Lyle SmithGraybeal had the opportunity to represent NoCo Works and join an important panel discussion focused on regional approaches in childcare. We had the opportunity to highlight our recently published External Barriers Report - which you can find at nocoworks.com. Thanks to all the local leaders who contributed to this conversation, from elected officials to practitioners to policy experts, highlighting the critical role of childcare in workforce development. Together, we’re making strides towards a more inclusive and resilient regional workforce. Thank you Early Childhood Council of Boulder County Early Childhood Council of Larimer County and United Way of Weld County for hosting this powerful summit!

Monday was incredible! Early Childhood Council of Larimer County partnered with our friends and colleagues at Early Childhood Council of Boulder County and United Way of Weld County to host the first Northern Colorado Regional Childcare Innovation Summit. With almost 200 attendees from across Weld, Larimer, and Boulder counties, we generated some incredible ideas and kickstarted the momentum needed to make lasting systemic change for early childhood in our communities. Childcare is foisted upon families as a personal issue, when in reality it needs to be funded as a public good. We are ready to make that happen in Northern Colorado!
