The Education, Employment and Welfare (EEW) global team works across all segments of the education, employment, and welfare value chain. We also work on intersection of these topics such as Future of Work, Skilling, and Well-being. Our practice serves a variety of clients across these projects which include public and private educational institutions and service providers, government agencies, employers and industry partners, as well as foundations and non-profits.
Within Education, we work to ensure that all students, from early childhood through higher education, have access to high-quality learning experiences that increase their success in work and life. Within Employment, we aim to ensure that all people are connected to jobs and career pathways that provide a decent living and life satisfaction. And within Welfare, we seek to support programs and policies that deliver equitable and citizen-centric services. Increasingly, as demonstrated by the topic map, our work crosses multiple of these domains.

For example, we are working at the intersection of Education and Employment to deliver vocational and corporate training that promotes workplace success. We are also working across Education and Welfare to reform education funding policies that improve the well-being of disadvantaged children. In addition, we work across Employment and Welfare to devise labor strategies that improve outcomes for all segments of the population. Finally, new topics, such as the future of work, skilling, and re-skilling, provide opportunities for us to work across all three sectors.
