Focus Areas
Advancing Lifelong Learning Through Integrated Education and Workforce Research
Education is the starting place for successful lives and careers. However, education systems face unprecedented challenges: learning loss and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, a growing demand for science, technology, engineering, and technology (STEM) talent, and more.
By combining education and workforce development research with training and technical assistance, you can address these challenges and advance high-quality learning for people of all ages. Our integrated approach to research comprises deep expertise in education and workforce development, and broad capabilities in quantitative and qualitative research, evaluation studies, and data visualization and decision support tools.
Impactful and Accessible Education and Workforce Development Data
High-quality survey research is essential to improve education outcomes. Our work includes leading large-scale, multiyear studies that investigate the relationships among student characteristics, education programs and practices, and academic and career success. The output is more than data—it’s a translation of complex statistics into easily understandable narratives and the communication of research results for a broad audience through diverse channels and innovative modes of presentation.
