Work with our Solutions Lab
We customize engagements to design, pilot, implement and scale initiatives that more effectively bridge education and employment. Our approach builds on decades of experience and the insights of our network. Key areas of expertise include:
-
Build and Scale Regional and Cross-Sector Workforce Initiatives
We lead successful regional initiatives that build consensus around skill gaps; activate and convene regional ecosystem leaders (business, government, education); and build sustained pathways to priority jobs and economic development.
