About
About the Project
The Project on Workforce is an interdisciplinary, collaborative project between the Harvard Kennedy School's Malcolm Wiener Center for Social Policy, the Harvard Business School’s Managing the Future of Work Project, and the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The Project produces basic and applied research at the intersection of the education and labor markets for leaders in business, education, and policy. Our mission is to chart the course for a postsecondary system of the future that creates better pathways to economic mobility.
