Building the workforce America needs to succeed starts with early education and continues through higher education and work-based learning and job training. Business Roundtable CEOs advocate for education and workforce policies that will help meet the needs of the U.S. economy and create greater economic opportunity and mobility for all American workers.
To compete in the global economy, America needs to ensure that our workforce has skills and training for high demand jobs. Today, our country’s workforce development system is failing. Business Roundtable urges policymakers to fix the nation’s workforce development system to better prepare workers for in-demand careers and strengthen our economy and competitiveness.
America’s leading companies value their employees and understand the importance of investing in their success and wellbeing. Business Roundtable members are taking action to support employees and their needs, including through better wages, education and training programs, and paid family and medical leave.
Business Roundtable leaders are dedicated to promoting high-quality education for everyone. Reading, in particular, is foundational for individuals to reach their full potential in the modern economy. By improving early literacy, we can help ensure all Americans are able to thrive in the workplace throughout their careers.
