How We Have Helped Organizations Around the World
We have worked with leaders of public, private, and nonprofit organizations across the education and employment sectors to identify, design, and deliver high-impact approaches. This journey has taken us to 23 countries across four continents. We have engaged with foundations, universities, governments, intergovernmental organizations, corporations, and school networks. While the projects have varied greatly, our data-driven approach has remained throughout.
