About Us
At TPMA, we believe that talent is the foundation of thriving communities and strong economies. Our story began in 1989 when our founder, Tom Miller—after leading what is now the Indiana Department of Workforce Development—set out to reshape the future of workforce and economic development. From the start, we’ve been at the forefront of innovative solutions, with our first client being the U.S. Department of Labor, for whom we authored white papers on the future of workforce development.
Today, TPMA is a nationally recognized consulting firm that empowers communities and organizations to thrive. We bridge the critical intersections of workforce, education, and economic, development—helping our clients translate data into action, align resources for impact, and implement sustainable solutions.
Our approach goes beyond research and planning—we deliver actionable strategies and tailored solutions for our clients and partners. At TPMA, we don’t just plan for the future. We build it.
