ALIGN LEARNING WITH THE WORLD OF WORKDesign with purpose.
Align with industry.
Deliver results.
The National Talent Hub™ (NTH) empowers training providers—whether K–12, postsecondary, or workforce-based—to align curriculum with real industry needs. From advanced manufacturing to semiconductors and other high-tech fields, the platform connects your programs with individuals ready to learn and employers ready to hire. With tools for curriculum alignment, career mapping, and skills visibility, you’ll attract more learners, deliver more impact, and stay relevant in a rapidly changing workforce.
Not Just a Program—A Path to Employment.
Designing programs that lead to real careers starts with better visibility. The NTH helps you go beyond enrollment—giving you insight into how your curriculum supports long-term workforce readiness.
By surfacing gaps, aligning to real-time industry expectations, and connecting programs to in-demand roles, the platform makes it easier to keep your offerings competitive, current, and outcomes-driven.
Backed by national competency standards and labor market data, you're not just offering courses—you’re equipping learners with clear, validated pathways to success.

Why It Works
Curriculum aligned with careers.
Using national competency standards, real-time labor data, and employer input, the NTH helps ensure your programs stay relevant and high-impact.
Pathways that build momentum.
From middle school STEM experiences to postsecondary credentials, NIICA tools support aligned learning journeys that keep students engaged and moving forward.
Visibility that drives enrollment.
Programs featured in the NTH reach a national network of job seekers, employers, and workforce partners—making it easier to attract learners who are ready to commit. Real skills, not guesswork.
“Before working in the National Talent Hub™, there wasn’t a clear picture of how programs aligned with workforce needs. Now, it’s possible to see exactly where the gaps are—and how to adjust. It’s taken the guesswork out of curriculum alignment and put students on real paths to careers.”
— Dr. Lenora Hale, Director of Workforce Partnerships, Central Coast Community College
