Our ApproachFutureWorks builds strategies and policies and strengthens institutions that promote sustainable, skill-based regional economic growth and competitiveness.
Our seasoned team has an in-depth understanding of regional economies, civic engagement, and talent development. Our particular strength is knitting together solutions that apply practical lessons from all three of these areas. We have a strong belief in the value of economic inclusion, which is a thread that runs through all of our work. |
Sustainable Regional Development |
Our approach to economic development is aimed at building wealth and creating wider opportunity for everyone. We look to build good jobs and strong communities over the long term through comprehensive approaches to jobs, cluster development, talent and education, technological innovation, entrepreneurship, and capital formation.
We have developed a particular expertise in strengthening city and regional institutions that organize business-civic leadership and the business community to develop partnerships with community groups and government agencies. |
Workforce and Talent Development |
FutureWorks engages in institutional and program design that builds labor market access and success for students and working adults. Our team has consulted with states agencies, regional workforce boards, community education and training programs, national foundations, and directly with universities, community colleges, and technical schools to develop and implement demand-side strategies for skill development.
