We foster, build and co-create effective public-private partnerships that will educate future generations and create jobs.
Strategic partnerships with the public and private sector are at the heart of long-lasting solutions in education and employment.
As the future of education and work will become more digital, the “future of higher education will be defined by blended classrooms, job-relevant education and lifelong learning” (Coursera). Hence, education institutions should invest in not only other universities and industry educators such as TVET centers but also business associations and private sector to close curricula gaps, accelerate the response of education to fluctuating labor market needs and quick employment through agreements between education and private sector.
How do we create more jobs?
Through our partnerships and fundraising capabilities, we validate our work in Skills & Education Systems, SMEs and Entrepreneurship and Impact Analytics by connecting governments, donors, educators, employers, technology companies, and youth networks with one another to further drive our mission. We support our partners by bringing all the relevant stakeholders together across our practice areas.
