The Harvard Project on Workforce is an interdisciplinary, collaborative project between the Harvard University Kennedy School's Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy, the Harvard Business School, which manages the Future of Work Project, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
The project produces and catalyzes basic and applied research at the intersection of education and labor markets for leaders in business, education, and policy. Its research aims to help shape a postsecondary system of the future that creates more and better pathways to economic mobility and forges smoother transitions between education and careers.
Examples of Harvard Project on Workforce's work include:
- The Skills Lab: The Basic Science of Human Potential
- The Harvard Skills Lab designs lab and field experiments to define and measure "soft" skills.
- Skillbase: Foundational Skills and Worker Learning Pathways
- Skillbase is a library of online career skills resources for job seekers and learners.
- Navigating Public Job Training Report
