DESCRIPTION:From skills to jobs: Building clearer pathways to good work\n\n
 A conversation with Rahm Emanuel\nThursday\, February 26\, 2026\, 10:30 a.
 m. – 12:00 p.m. EST\nOnline: https://www.brookings.edu/events/from-skill
 s-to-jobs-building-clearer-pathways-to-good-work\n\nThe path from school t
 o steady work with good wages is not always well-marked or accessible. Tod
 ay’s students and workers can choose among many options—including bach
 elor’s and associate degrees\, apprenticeships\, military service\, and 
 other forms of work-based learning—but the systems designed to develop a
 nd measure skills are not well aligned with the needs of learners\, jobsee
 kers\, and employers.\n\nToo often\, students struggle to find real-world 
 work experiences that are connected to their studies or interests. At the 
 same time\, workers who want to continue learning and gain new skills face
  limited and unclear points of entry back into education and training syst
 ems. These disconnects also hamper the ability of employers to find worker
 s with the right skills.\n\nOn February 26\, Brookings will host an event 
 to examine how education systems and labor market institutions can evolve 
 to better support students and workers at every stage. Panelists will expl
 ore what it would take to ensure high school is relevant\, postsecondary e
 ducation is affordable and accessible\, work-based learning options are pl
 entiful\, and pathways to good jobs are clear.\n\nOnline viewers can submi
 t questions via e-mail to events@brookings.edu\n\nAgenda: \nAgenda & Regis
