Integrating our Education System, Employers, and Job Creators

The economy and education have long been topics of concern to Americans. In 2014, Gallup polled nearly one million Americans for a study on the linkages between education and long-term success. Their results showed that student engagement is on the decline, job preparedness is questionable, and the perception of higher education is that it's about getting a job, not a degree. With results like these, where do we go from here?

Join us for a conversation with Brandon Busteed, Executive Director of Education and Workforce Development at Gallup, on why there is nothing more important we can do as a nation than build the world’s most effective “educonomy” by seamlessly integrating our educational system, our employers, and our job creators.
