Employer LEADERSHIP

Engaging Employers As We Transition To The AI Economy

With major American employers, RAISE US is co-designing workforce transition pilots to test models for reskilling and redeploying workers within companies, connecting displaced workers to new roles, and building pathways for workers entering new careers.

How we'll do this

We analyze outcomes and develop model strategies, so proven solutions can be replicated and scaled.

Future-Focused Employers

Education should be something people return to across an entire career, not something they finish at 22 years old. Shorter, affordable, career-aligned credentials that stand alone or stack toward a degree are the future of post-secondary education.

National
Apprenticeships

Earn-and-learn apprenticeship models should be the norm across industries. Most skills people use in their jobs are skills they learned on the job. Apprenticeships need to scale beyond the trades.

Employer
Coalition

Companies leading the AI transformation and taking responsibility for the workforce transition that comes with it. Coalition members are champions for workforce transition and co-design the pilots that build a shared understanding of what effective worker transition looks like in practice.

State Leaders Must Prepare Now for an AI Storm [TIME]

When a tornado puts you on its path or a severe blizzard is forecasted, a governor’s job is straightforward. You activate the emergency operations center. You pre-position resources. You coordinate with local responders. You level with the public. You don’t debate whether the storm is real, and you don’t leave people to fend for themselves. When governors see an emergency on the horizon, they must prepare.
