  The Center conducts basic research, provides policy analysis and develops tools that link educational preparation and career opportunities. Our work focuses in three overlapping domains: Domain #1 focuses on detailed trends and projections in education supply and economic demand for educated workers, focused on the U.S. but nested in a global context. Domain #2 aligns educational curriculum with occupational knowledge, skills, abilities, interests and values. Domain #3 focuses on the workforce itself. The core concern in our worforce focus is the effects of school performance on educational and economic equity.
