Modern intelligence for the work that matters most.

Public service should not "move fast and break things." When systems create benefits that are key to people’s lives and livelihoods, infrastructure must be as reliable as it is innovative.

Tallgrass Data Corporation provides the AI-enabled career coaching and data systems that help state agencies scale their impact without compromising on safety, accountability, outcomes, or data sovereignty.

Mission

We help workers build their own career ladders and help them as they reconnect, reskill, and rise.

What we do

We make heavy work lighter.

RAG-Enhanced Intelligence

We connect your existing data, including legacy mainframes and non-public state admin data, to a modern AI layer to create localized intelligence.

Architected-In Compliance

Our solutions are built from the ground up for strict WIOA and RESEA compliance. We provide auditable pipelines and secure data sovereignty.

Predictable Outcomes

The Fiveyears platform helps deliver specific .gov KPIs, including reduction in unemployment duration and increase in job retention and wage growth, post-placement.

We build on a foundation of "what works," transforming legacy records into a self-reinforcing engine for economic growth. By integrating expert AI-enabled coaching with localized labor market data, we enable State and Federal agencies to reduce unemployment claim duration, increase placement retention, and facilitate transitions into high-growth career paths.

Who we serve

The Backbone of the American Workforce.

We partner with State and Federal agencies tasked with obtaining beneficial outcomes for the workers who need them most. Our platform is purpose-built for State Workforce Agencies serving claimant cohorts with different and difficult needs, Departments of Labor requiring localized career pathing, and Public Sector IT organizations charged with turning the promises of Big Data into big outcomes.

  • State Workforce Agencies
  • Departments of Labor
  • Health and Human Services
  • Military Transition Assistance Programs
Working together

From Pilot to Production.

We are currently launching high-impact pilots in states to build the intelligence platform that will enhance and extend the components of your service model that deliver the biggest ROI. Whether you are looking to modernize a county workflow or deploy a statewide AI coaching tool, we provide the subject matter expertise and the technical reliability to get it right the first time.
