We bring together key stakeholders—corporate leaders, academic institutions, and policymakers—to design and implement workforce strategies that create sustainable, high-impact economic growth.

E2i Partners acts as the bridge between economic development, business, and education. Through our deep partnerships with corporate clients and academic leaders, we help economic development leaders:
Align workforce development initiatives with real-time corporate hiring needs.
Connect businesses with academic institutions to build industry-aligned talent pipelines.
Design upskilling & reskilling programs that prepare workers for high-demand careers.
Leverage data and insights to forecast industry workforce needs.
Enhance business attraction strategies by showcasing a strong, future-ready workforce.
Our approach ensures economic development strategies are backed by employer demand and educational alignment—leading to stronger job creation, higher investment, and long-term economic resilience.
Where We Work
We work with economic development leaders across diverse geographies—from urban innovation hubs to rural regions looking to transform their workforce ecosystems. Our national network of corporate and academic partners allows us to customize solutions based on regional economic priorities and industry needs.

Strengthen workforce readiness to attract and retain businesses.
Foster collaboration between industry and education for long-term talent development.
Ensure inclusive economic mobility by creating pathways for underserved populations.
Position their region as a leader in workforce innovation and job creation.
Through our strong relationships with corporate clients, we ensure that economic development strategies align with the hiring needs of today’s leading employers. Likewise, our partnerships with higher education institutions ensure academic programs are evolving to meet industry demands—resulting in a workforce that’s ready to drive economic success.
