Parallax Talent Exchange Program

Purpose

Talent Exchanges are vital to a company’s talent marketplace, allowing employees to develop skillsets that align with business needs and help solve critical challenges that result from changing markets. Talent Exchanges also promote intelligent teaming opportunities between and among partners, resulting in diversity of thought, innovative ideas, and bold solutions.

The goal of a talent exchange is to build collaborative partnerships across academia, industry, and government sectors that are mutually beneficial to all participants. Access to state-of-the-art facilities, research, and talent can lead to greater prominence in the marketplace. Talent exchanges can have a direct and positive impact on business growth, employee experience, and customer satisfaction.
