SHRM’s E2 Initiative: The Education-to-Employment Pipeline
Fixing America's Leaky, Broken, and Busted Talent Pipeline
The U.S. talent pipeline — from classrooms to careers — is broken, leaky, and busted. Our education and talent development systems are not keeping up with the demands of rapid innovation. The impacts are felt throughout the U.S. workforce and greater economy. Too many students are graduating without the requisite skills they need to get a job, continue to advance in their careers, and close the workforce participation gap. At the same time, millions of skilled individuals remain on the sidelines — overlooked, underutilized, or disconnected from opportunity.
SHRM Chief Administrative Officer Emily M. Dickens said, “People don’t live, learn, or work in silos — and neither should we.” That is the purpose of SHRM’s Education-to-Employment (E²) Initiative: to break down silos, strengthen connections, and ensure that education truly leads to employment.
SHRM wants to highlight your impact. Use our form to share the programs, ideas, and solutions that are helping to repair the U.S.’s education-to-employment pipeline. By telling your story, you help us showcase real-world examples of what works and inspire others to follow your lead.
Every submission helps SHRM amplify innovative approaches, elevate the voices of changemakers, and drive progress across communities, workplaces, and policies.
