Abstract: The study empirically examined the influence of talent management on employees' competence and controlled for the intervening effect of knowledge transfer in colleges of education in Ghana. Given the reliance on explanatory research design, the study utilised structured questionnaire for gathering the primary data quantitatively from 209 randomly selected participants. A second-order model was configured in SMART PLS for testing of the directional hypotheses formulated. The study found that talent management is a weak significant positive predictor of both team competence and change competence. However, talent management significantly predicts a moderate positive variance in self-competence. Also, knowledge transfer mediates the predictive relationship between talent management and three dimensions of employee competence. The study concluded that colleges of education should rely on talent management programmes for managing their talents with strong integration of institutional systems and structures for knowledge transfer, so as to build the competence of their workforce.
