Delve into our latest research with the Sands Institute for Lifelong Learning at the University of Virginia Darden School of Business, which reveals how upskilling and targeted managerial education can bridge the gap for over 10 million workers currently overlooked for first-time management roles due to traditional degree requirements. We also explore how universities, businesses, and policymakers can collaborate to foster economic mobility and fill critical talent gaps in today’s increasingly knowledge-based economy.
