Vision
We envision a world where education and workforce systems are aligned to address systemic barriers so that all individuals can support themselves, provide for their families, and build thriving communities.
Mission
WestEd’s Center for Economic Mobility partners with education and workforce systems to remove systemic barriers to living-wage jobs and to provide low income people with access to social mobility, particularly in African-American, Asian-American, Latina/o/x, Native, and rural communities. Our evidence-based, collaborative, and student-centered approach offers relevant information, helps make that information meaningful, and supports systems change.
Staff
Our team includes people with deep commitment to equity and experience working with K-12, postsecondary education, adult education, and economic development.
