Morphology
The meaning 'to display or demonstrate one's skills' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'showcase' (to present or exhibit) with 'talent' (skill or ability); the verb + object composition yields the intended sense without metaphorical shift. This is a common, cross-linguistically paralleled construction and should be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
The phrase showcase talent comes from the old shop showcase, a glass case used to display goods. Imagine putting a person's talent in that clear case so everyone can see; that's why it means 'to show your skills' in public.
