Growing dynamic workplace talent that keeps pace with business needs.

The transition from education into employment—and, actually, the education system itself—is out of sync with the dynamic nature of business. Too few high school students are graduating with marketable skills, and a large number of college graduates are bringing little or no workplace experience to future employers. Hence, there is a mismatch between the skills businesses need and the skills job candidates have to offer.
The retirement of baby boomers is also adding fuel to this well-stoked (skills gap) fire.

Growth & Activity

We have too many Americans underemployed
or sitting on the sidelines, waiting to be called into
the game. Meanwhile, we’re forfeiting too much economic
growth and activity.

Continual Momentum

While our economy is hot and unemployment is low,
employers are clamoring for skilled workers—and coming
up empty-handed.

A Practical Approach

It’s time for America to reboot its approach to growing
talent. It’s time for an approach that is high quality, business relevant, and practical.
