Education Strategy Group
Project Title
As a final grant for building public understanding of pathways to economic opportunity
Date
Dec. 14, 2023
Duration
24 months
Description
Education Strategy Group (ESG) is a mission-driven consulting firm that works with America’s education, business, and civic leaders to expand economic opportunity and mobility by increasing educational attainment. Although many national efforts focus on supporting career pathways that begin in high school and articulate to postsecondary programs that culminate in credentials with labor market value, too few key education stakeholders understand the importance of these opportunities in the economy. Understanding this is especially important given the significant workforce shifts resulting from the pandemic. With past Corporation support, Education Strategy Group (ESG) produced a set of tools and strategies for engaging stakeholders about the changing economic environment and the role that education and training beyond high school play in opening doors to the workforce. With continued support from the Corporation, ESG will share learnings and lessons from planned community workshops as well as update and build new resources for the communications toolkit as needed.

Description
Students will always need education beyond a high school diploma to increase their opportunities for economic mobility. Although many national efforts focus on providing support to career pathways that begin in high school and articulate to postsecondary programs that culminate in credentials with labor market value, too few key education stakeholders, particularly parents, teachers, and counselors, understand the value of these opportunities in the economy. Understanding this information is especially important in the major workforce shifts resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. With past Corporation support, Education Strategy Group (ESG), produced a set of tools and strategies for engaging parents, teachers, and counselors about the changing economic environment and the role that education and training beyond high school plays in opening doors to the workforce. With continued support from the Corporation, ESG will seek to produce a summary resource to share learnings and lessons from planned community workshops as well as update and build new resources for the communications toolkit as needed.
