Education and Workforce Development

Sustainable economic growth requires a skilled, educated, and competitive workforce that is ready for the jobs of today and tomorrow. Making this possible means improving individual learning outcomes, which often involves partnership between industry, governments, education systems, and the private sector. Enhancing access to quality education, market driven 21st century vocational training, workforce development, and lifelong learning opportunities that help young people, especially women, find decent jobs and advance their careers, promote social mobility, and build human capital.

Our integrated workforce solutions are evidence-based and prepare youth for the jobs of today and future. Our model centers on industry partnership, investment, and ownership.
