case teams create strong impact for the client. While contributing to client

The Education, Employment and Welfare (EEW) global team works across all
segments of the education, employment, and welfare value chain. We also work
on intersection of these topics such as Future of Work, Skilling, and Well-
being. Our practice serves a variety of clients across these projects which
include public and private educational institutions and service providers,
government agencies, employers and industry partners, as well as foundations
and non-profits.

Within Education, we work to ensure that all students, from early childhood
through higher education, have access to high-quality learning experiences
that increase their success in work and life. Within Employment, we aim to
ensure that all people are connected to jobs and career pathways that provide
a decent living and life satisfaction. And within Welfare, we seek to support
programs and policies that deliver equitable and citizen-centric services.
Increasingly, as demonstrated by the topic map, our work crosses multiple of
these domains. For example, we are working at the intersection of Education
and Employment to deliver vocational and corporate training that promotes
workplace success. We are also working across Education and Welfare to reform
education funding policies that improve the well-being of disadvantaged
children. In addition, we work across Employment and Welfare to devise labor
strategies that improve outcomes for all segments of the population. Finally,
new topics, such as the future of work, skilling, and re-skilling, provide
opportunities for us to work across all three sectors.
