Transforming Human Potential Through Work
We believe every person can realize their full potential when they are empowered to discover and apply their unique abilities and skills to pursue purposeful careers.
Shifting how our country empowers people in the workplace requires policies that inspire individuals to pursue meaningful work and employers to value workers based on their skills and motivation to contribute.
Beyond degrees: Building a workforce with skills-based practices

“A skilled workforce brings incredible potential, but unleashing this potential requires recognizing skills acquired through alternative routes.”
