Jobs for the Future identifies, develops, and promotes new education and workforce strategies that help communities, states, and the nation compete in a global economy. We create strategies and schools that challenge struggling and out-of-school youth through academic acceleration, earning a high school diploma and college- and career-ready skills. We collaborate with 2-year and 4-year colleges to improve graduation rates through effective, efficient ways to educate diverse student populations. We develop practical strategies that help employers, employees, and communities prosper in a 21st-century economy. Across all our work, we inform public officials about policies that enhance educational and economic opportunity for all Americans.
