What is an Activator?

Activators are impact ambassadors who are knowledgeable about how skills-based practices and tools can be put to work in an organization for specific roles. The Activator approach empowers individuals to support peers, employers, and partners in taking actionable steps to talent management and hiring practices. Activators will develop content expertise through updated digital self-paced Skillful Talent Series courses, as well as existing Alliance resources and tools such as Hiring Toolkits.
