Why us. Why now.
Academic institutions face unprecedented challenges — from decreasing enrollments to school closures and diminishing funding in today’s landscape. Policy changes and fiscal disarray are expected if the closure of the Department of Education ensues. These challenges will require academic institutions and their leaders to innovate, create new revenue streams, and appeal to new student demographics. At the same time, corporate leaders must reskill their workforce and build robust talent pipelines to drive innovation and competitive advantage. E2i bridges education and industry while playing a vital role in economic development. We empower institutions to adapt, enable businesses to cultivate future-ready teams, and drive regional growth by leveraging the strengths and resources of all stakeholders by integrating academic rigor into workforce development. Now is the time to act. Partner with E2i to transform challenges into opportunities for a thriving future in education, business, and communities.
