This document outlines a proposal for a program called "Purposeful Alignment" that aims to: 1. Define individuals' talents using psychometric testing and data to better align students, workers, and job seekers with educational and career opportunities that match their talents. 2. Align schools, teachers, employers, and industries with specific talent clusters to improve performance and competitiveness. 3. Reduce wasted resources in education and employment by ensuring better matches between people's talents and their roles and environments. The program would use a hybrid technology of international and local psychometric and HR tools to profile talents and match individuals and organizations for improved outcomes for students, workers, employers, and the economy overall.

2. PURPOSEFUL ALIGNMENT
Is
Using HR and Psychometric Technology and Reality
Data to define one’s talent and to determine where
to purposefully engage in order to:
 Create high flyers out of them
 Make schools and teachers high and differentiated
performers
 Make employers and their products and services
differentiated and forever competitive
 Make employees high flyers and job secured

4. What problems are we solving nationally?
 More than $85B spent on 700k students each
year (Govt. spends >$70B but over 50% is poor
investment as more than 400k will be deemed
as failures.
 Over 650k of the 1.1m workforce not
rewarded for their talent because they are not
purposefully aligned to become high flying
employees.
 Over 200k are not working because their
talents are not known.
 Many employers will continue to be wiped out
by China, T&T, South America and USA
because they don’t use talent to differentiate
and compete.

5. We can conclude that
Jamaica is a land of
wasted HR

6. Indeed the wealthiest places in Jamaica
are where talents are lost forever.
 About100k of 112k persons buried
annually without realizing their
dreams.
 Almost 4k inmates who will use their
talents the wrong way.
