Education drives economic growth, innovation and skills for employment – all of which are vital for a thriving and successful business community. And when companies get involved in supporting education, they can drive progress in talent, retention and community relations.
Theirworld works with corporate partners – from small businesses to Fortune 500 companies – to help children and young people go to school, learn and participate in the economy. We build corporate partnerships and deliver projects with business partners, support employee engagement opportunities and help businesses leverage their voices for campaigns that advance educational opportunity.
Our coalition of more than 300 companies works collaboratively to advance education around the world. The coalition also represents the private sector on global education funds, like the Global Partnership for Education, Education Cannot Wait, and the UNESCO High-Level Advisory Committee.
The Youth Skills and Employment Accelerator is an annual programme, led by the Global Business Coalition for Education supported by Stellantis and Dell, that brings together youth-serving nonprofits and business leaders to prepare young people for the future of work. Through the Accelerator, selected nonprofits strengthen and scale their programmes in close partnership with employers, ensuring their education and training initiatives align with current and future workforce demands.
We work side-by-side with businesses to develop strategies to advance social impact and education goals. Working with HP we delivered over 70,000 laptops to Ukraine.
We are building a cohort of business leaders to champion education causes, including the Act For Early Years campaign.
We host events and roundtables to explore issues ranging from youth skills and AI to public-private partnerships to help build a stronger network. For more information contact: info@gbc-education.org.
Our Global Business Coalition for Education leverages the collective power of the business community to improve access and quality of education.
