As leaders of America’s largest companies in every sector of the economy, Business Roundtable CEOs employ more than 15 million people across all 50 states and are committed to doing what it takes to cultivate a U.S. workforce that is “tomorrow ready.” That means equipping more young Americans and working adults with the education, skills and training needed for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
By providing work-based learning opportunities and standing up partnerships between their companies and educational institutions in the local communities where they operate, CEOs demonstrate their commitment to a “tomorrow ready” workforce. And through their national advocacy for higher education and workforce policies, including through modernization of the Higher Education Act, these business leaders are helping expand pathways to gainful, sustained employment for millions of Americans.
