Georgetown University

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW), a nonpartisan research and policy institute within the McCourt School of Public Policy, seeks a new director to lead the center into its third decade. Founded in 2008, CEW generates accessible, independent research that (1) examines the evolving connections between education and careers; (2) identifies disparities in educational and economic outcomes that disadvantage underserved populations; and (3) strengthens education, training, and workforce systems to prepare people for the labor market and deliver equitable opportunity for all.

CEW is seeking a new director with a clear vision for advancing the center’s mission by extending and building upon its unique strengths in research, analysis, and communications. The new CEW director must have substantial experience developing and executing a research agenda at the intersection of education and the labor market; securing external grant funding to support research activities; and communicating to multiple audiences about how and why linking research in both spheres is critical. The new director should also have experience providing support to policymakers, practitioners, and funders to build more effective education, training, and workforce systems.
