Description

This week’s episode of What’s at Stake examines the challenges and opportunities in rebuilding America’s education-to-employment (E²) pipeline. Penta Managing Directors Ylan Mui and Felicia Wasson welcome Emily M. Dickens, J.D., Chief of Staff and Head of Government Affairs at SHRM, to discuss SHRM’s new E² Initiative and its mission to connect employers, educators, and policymakers.

Their conversation covered:

-Why SHRM is repairing the current “leaky, broken, and busted” education-to- employment pipeline.

-How the E² initiative delivers national convenings, shared projects, and playbooks that provide real examples for creating job opportunities.

-The role of partnerships in expanding access to untapped talent to fill vacant jobs.

-SHRM’s vision for scaling real-world solutions to the employment gap nationwide.
