Feature Updates

New and Improved Exemplar Library: Talent’s Exemplar Library now allows you to post video and non-video resources. This way Admins and Coaches can post lesson plans, curriculum materials, and other useful non-video resources to the Exemplar library!

We’ve also improved the way you post to the Exemplar library by adding bulk posting and allowing the copying over of comments, rubric tags, supporting documents and any other items you may have added to your video/file. You’ll also notice Exemplar collections and sub-collections which allow you to more easily organize these files. With the start of the new school year, all of you TALENT admins and coaches can start curating your Exemplar resources today!

The Exemplar library is available to all TALENT systems level Premium or above. Don’t see it? Or interested in learning more? Reach out to your account manager or support@torsh.co!

Also, don’t forget our other features that came out this past year including Coaching Corner, Insights, and Forums! Let us know if you have any questions about how you can start implementing these features at your organization today!

Courtney’s Quote of the Day

“As a black entrepreneur with a strong interest in contributing to the revitalization and continued growth of post-Katrina New Orleans, I am deeply committed to hiring locals and people of color…The future of New Orleans rests in the hands of the people who are from here and have a vested interest in securing its future. If you are out there, and you are reading this, your city needs you. I need you. And my fellow tech entrepreneurs need you. Stay here, or come back here, and put your skills to work for New Orleans.”

– Torsh CEO Courtney Williams

Dear New Orleans Graduates, Tech Companies Want to Hire You.
