• Description

The Kellogg Foundation asked Mobility to undertake Partnerships for Skills Gains because it wanted to understand how employers partner with other organizations to invest in their workers. The foundation specified that the employer training partnerships should focus on upgrading the skills of low-income workers, result in higher wages for trained employees, and require employers to contribute financially to the training.

This report is the result of an extensive literature review, interviews with dozens of experts, and conversations with more than 160 employers, workforce board staff, and training providers.
