Our work — the research, the report, and this evening's reception — would not be possible without them. Their support has allowed us to bring leaders together behind a blueprint for the nation's talent, and it is what will allow us to keep pushing that work forward.
As we close out today's event, we want to take a moment to recognize and thank the partners whose generosity made it possible.
BPC will continue to advocate for the recommendations in this blueprint well into the future, #AmericasWorkforce depends on them.
Thank you to all that joined us in-person or online, and for those who missed it, watch the full livestream here:

“At a time of so much political divide and unease, this work was all about coming together and finding common ground, and identifying bipartisan solutions to some of our most pressing challenges.”
Advancing bipartisan solutions for American learners and workers does not stop with this event.
Former Commerce Secretary and Former Rhode Island Governor, Gina Raimondo and MS NOW's Jonathan Capehart tackled the question of #AI and its effects on #AmericasWorkforce, discussing how we prepare future generations for success in an economy that looks very different to our own.
“One thing I do want to be clear about: it isn't just retraining and reskilling that will get us through this transition. We do need that and it needs to be flexible.
We have to have a much more flexible training system and that’s a key piece of the puzzle.”

To boost the talent pipeline, we must focus on bipartisan solutions built for America’s working families.

“Connecticut [continues] to be a great place to raise a family. This is in the background of the state improving its fiscal health... It shows the ability to balance improving [our] fiscal health and still investing in families, when those options often get pitted against each other,” –Erick Russell

If you've spent this morning reading our report, "A Nation at Risk to A Nation at Work: The Case for a National Talent Strategy", we thank you, but we’re just getting started.
Today we’re bringing together leaders from business, education, and government to tackle one goal: building a stronger, more inclusive talent pipeline for the country.
What does a national talent strategy mean for working families? For a high school student figuring out what’s next? For a business owner looking for skilled employees? It means a system that works for them: connecting people to the opportunities they need.
"A Nation at Risk to A Nation at Work: The Case for a National Talent Strategy" is the culmination of a year of bipartisan work led by former Governors Bill Haslam and Deval Patrick.
It lays out 15 recommendations to strengthen the systems Americans rely on to learn, work, and build a future.
Today, we are optimistic that our country can do better for its people, at all stages.
