• Manage a pipeline of contacts, follow-ups, and reporting (CRM or equivalent tracking system)
• Collaborate with the reskilling program team to ensure alignment between opportunities and talent supply
• Monitor trends in employability, impact funding, and corporate social responsibility to inform strategy
