Talent Collective DSM

Every career starts with someone who believes in a student’s potential.

Talent Collective DSM is hiring a High School Career Coach to guide juniors and seniors as they explore careers, build confidence, and prepare for life after graduation.

As a Career Coach, you’ll teach career-readiness courses, provide one-on-one coaching, connect students with employers, and help them navigate the path from high school to meaningful careers. Every day is an opportunity to open doors, build relationships, and help students achieve the firsts that shape their future.

If you’re a licensed educator who is passionate about student success and workforce development, we’d love to hear from you.

Technology powers everything.

From hospitals to manufacturing floors to financial systems, it all depends on people.

IT roles are projected to grow 15% through 2032.

The future is digital—and the workforce must be ready. Talent Collective DSM helps make that possible by connecting students to the skills, experiences, and career pathways they need to succeed in an evolving workforce.

Fact: By 2033, the manufacturing sector alone will require 3.8 million skilled workers nationwide.

The regional demand right here in Central Iowa mirrors this trend. We don't have a shortage of raw talent; we have a pipeline network shortage. Talent Collective DSM exists to solve that problem for your business.

This isn’t charity. It’s strategy.

Building a strong workforce doesn’t start when you’re hiring; it starts much earlier. It starts in our schools, in our community, and in the students who are ready to work but haven’t yet been given the opportunity.

The talent is already here. What’s missing is access, training, and connection.

When businesses invest early, they aren’t just giving back. They are strengthening their talent pipeline, developing future employees, and contributing to the long-term economic health of Des Moines.

That’s how you build a workforce that lasts. That’s how we move forward together.

Partner with Talent Collective DSM and help build the workforce your business will depend on.
