The transition to the AI era is happening now, and the companies building this technology have a responsibility to help workers prepare for it. We've spent years investing in workforce programs at Amazon including Career Choice, where our employees gain real skills, real credentials, and real pathways. RAISE US takes that same principle and applies it at a national scale, bringing together the private sector, states, and educators to build something no one can build alone. That's how you make this transition work for everyone, not just a few. We're excited to be a part of this organization and committed to doing this important work.

New technology creates an extraordinary opportunity to help all people realize their potential and thrive. But given the pace of change, this will require an unprecedented society-wide effort to connect people to meaningful work and community.  Stand Together is thrilled to partner with RAISE Us to help make that happen.

For two decades, WGU has built its model around one question: Does this actually lead to a job? That is the same question RAISE US is asking at a national scale, and it is long overdue. The old assumption that one kind of credential, delivered one way, fits every worker has never been true, and AI is making that gap impossible to ignore. I am glad to help build something that takes affordability and outcomes as seriously as we do.

Maryland is proud to be one of the first states to partner with RAISE US. We refuse to treat AI as something that simply happens to our workers — it's something Marylanders will help lead. This partnership means a worker here can train for a good job, earn a paycheck while doing it, and know there's real work waiting on the other side.

AI will not reshape the labor market in the abstract; it will reshape jobs, skills, tasks, and career paths. We are excited to partner with RAISE US, combining our strength in labor-market and AI-impact analytics with RAISE US’s ability to catalyze industry, education, and government to turn intelligence into action at scale. America’s test is whether we can help workers move with this change rather than be moved by it. Our partnership with RAISE US is built around meeting that test.

As artificial intelligence transforms America’s economy, we have one clear message: technology should empower people, not replace them. By leveraging our Arkansas LAUNCH initiative, and with the resources and expertise provided by RAISE US, Arkansas will turn that mission into reality. We want the Natural State to be a leader on education, workforce training, and up-skilling, and this new partnership gives us the tools we need to build a model for the entire nation.

AI is changing what work looks like faster than our systems can keep up, and that's exactly why we must come together to better support workers. We've seen what's possible when organizations stop working in silos and start building real solutions together. We're proud to support this effort and the shared belief that every worker deserves a real shot at a quality job that helps unlock economic opportunity.

Technology alone will not determine the future of the AI economy. AI will create enormous value, but how workers share in that value depends on the choices we make right now about training, transition, and access. RAISE US is organizing exactly the kind of coordinated, evidence-driven response the moment requires.

Every young person has the right to a good future. AI is going to rewrite what work looks like for an entire generation. We can let that happen to young people, or we can bring them into the decisions that shape it. RAISE US is committed to making sure they are equipped to do exactly that. That is the work. That is why I am proud to sit on this board.

The future of work will test every state in the country, and we must work to ensure we are more than passive observers and users of AI – we must be architects of a future that empowers our workforce. Utah is joining RAISE US because it puts government, employers, and educators at the same table to actually get something done. That's how you solve hard problems.

How workers fare in an economic transition does not depend on luck or individual virtue alone. Policies and institutions determine whether rapid labor market change opens new opportunities or leaves scars. The China Shock taught us that "get a new job" is not a viable policy; it's a surrender for which we are still paying an economic and political price. RAISE US asks not whether AI will reshape work, but how to ensure workers benefit from those changes.

AI is going to reshape our workforce whether we plan for it or not, so Connecticut is choosing to plan.  We’re proud to join RAISE US and a bipartisan group of states determined to keep our workers at the center of this transition and to harness the power of AI to create more jobs and new businesses.

My research has shown, again and again, that where a child grows up and what opportunities they can access shapes the entire trajectory of their life. AI is about to scramble that picture in ways we don't fully understand yet, for better or worse. The data we have on economic mobility was built for the world as it existed. We need new infrastructure, and new evidence, to understand the world as it is becoming. RAISE US is building exactly that, and it is the kind of rigorous, outcomes-focused work this moment requires.

For the first time in history, we can give every worker in America a personal tutor and coach — the kind of one-on-one support that used to be reserved for a lucky few. AI makes that possible, and RAISE US is one of the few efforts serious about turning that possibility into a real path to good jobs, at the scale this moment requires.

AI is going to change the economy in ways that are hard to anticipate. RAISE US is going to build some of the infrastructure we'll need to navigate AI's economic impacts, giving us the tools needed to take advantage of its benefits and see and deal with its potential disruptions.

Bank of America’s partnership with Raise US strengthens America’s workforce and the country’s economic future,” said Jim DeMare, co-president of Bank of America. “As technology and AI reshape jobs, we are continuing to invest in training, upskilling and apprenticeships — including advanced manufacturing— to help American workers build skills, compete globally, and drive U.S. growth.

Our country was born 250 years ago with a promise that all Americans would be empowered in their pursuit of happiness—and ever since, good jobs have made that pursuit possible. As the AI economy impacts vulnerable workers across every sector, we need to adapt and scale the systems that will ensure quality work is always available for anyone who wants to build a better life. The Rockefeller Foundation is proud to support RAISE US so
that AI opens doors for American workers instead of closing them.

One of the great strengths of the American economy is the capacity of people to learn, adapt, and grow alongside technological change. As artificial intelligence transforms how work is done, workers will need access to new skills, clearer pathways to opportunity, and support through periods of transition. RAISE US is helping build the infrastructure that can make lifelong learning and economic mobility more accessible to everyone.

In the age of AI, investing in workforce training and retraining is essential to building the capabilities needed for the future and expanding access to opportunity. I commend Gina Raimondo and Eric Holcomb’s leadership in advancing this effort, and I’m very pleased to support it.

As AI reshapes the economy, identifying and rigorously testing policy solutions, grounded in skills and outcomes, will be essential to helping more people navigate change and succeed in the workforce. RAISE US is bringing together the right partners to embark on, and succeed in, this endeavor.

AI is transforming how we innovate, grow and compete. Its full promise will come when people have the skills, confidence and human insight to put it to work. RAISE US puts people at the center of AI’s future, with the shared standards and best practices needed to help them thrive.

For decades, Rockwell has worked side by side with manufacturers, educators, and policymakers to strengthen the talent pipeline for American industry. We’ve seen time and again that employers can’t wait for the workforce system to evolve on its own, we have a responsibility to help shape it. That’s why we’re proud to join RAISE US and contribute our experience preparing and training the American workforce.

Infosys is deeply committed to advancing the economic mobility of American workers through reskilling, collaboration and innovation. As a firm accelerating AI adoption across American enterprises, we believe talent transformation will be the driving force behind inclusive prosperity,” said. “We are inspired by the bold vision set forth by Governor Raimondo and Governor Holcomb, and eager to bring our expertise and innovations to help realize this ambition.

AI is transforming how work gets done and people need help addressing this shift to close the skills and opportunity gap. At Autodesk, that belief is reflected in our commitment to expanding access to technology, training, and credentials that help prepare the workforce for what comes next. RAISE US is focused on the elements that can make a difference at scale: clearer employer signals, partnerships built to drive action, and real outcomes for workers who need more than a conversation about the future. We are proud to join this initiative because every company with the capacity to contribute has a responsibility to step forward.
