Join Rachel Lipson, Founding Director of the Project on Workforce at Harvard, and Kerry McKittrick, Co-Director of the Project on Workforce at Harvard, for a Lunchtime Dialogue on driving regional economic development through higher education.
In 2021, the Project on Workforce launched the College-to-Jobs Initiative, a multi-year research effort designed to examine the connections between postsecondary education and the workforce. The initial phase of research culminated in the College-to-Jobs Playbook, a comprehensive review of the evidence and implementation of programs that connect students to meaningful careers. Through their research, they identified six themes that warranted further exploration. This Lunchtime Dialogue explores the fourth theme: driving regional economic development through higher education.
