How to Grow the Impact of Education-to-Career Pathway Intermediaries
Regional education-to-career intermediary organizations are playing an increasingly critical role in the national education landscape. Through their leadership, K-12, higher education, youth serving organizations, and employers have joined forces to design career-connected learning opportunities that equitably accelerate students’ path to a credential with value in the workplace.
The functions these organizations play are key to expanding high-quality pathways and unlocking their massive potential to expand equitable economic opportunity.
Unfortunately, there are currently barriers that limit their capacity and ability to support dramatically more students. While the context of their work may differ across communities, there is a growing body of evidence about the highest leverage actions that intermediaries can take to improve impact and scale.
ESG is pleased to introduce “Keys to Scale,” a new report that digs into why certain pathways intermediary organizations are successful and what more might be done to empower their further success in driving student and system outcomes. The full report, along with five accompanying “origin stories” featuring five different intermediary organizations, is available below.
