The Center on Education & Labor is a part of New America, a nonprofit think and action tank, that develops policies, platforms, products, and new practices to advance equity and affect meaningful change in people’s lives across five broad “clusters”:
The Center on Education & Labor is dedicated to restoring the link between education and economic mobility by advancing policies that strengthen the key social institutions necessary to connect them.
Rebuilding America’s middle class requires a coordinated approach to education and labor policymaking that recognizes that the good jobs of the future will require a postsecondary education, but that education and skills on their own are not enough to ensure that the jobs pay well and include essential benefits. The Center’s work spans the policy domains of education, labor, and workforce development, with a goal to forge a more holistic approach to the challenges generated from technological change. This approach recognizes the need to equip workers of the future with the knowledge, skills, and power necessary to fulfill the terms of our social contract.
