Why This Moment Matters
In today’s evolving policy and funding landscape, there’s a unique chance to forge transformative, future-oriented partnerships—ones that generate new programmatic opportunities and prepare learners for meaningful careers.
E2i Partners exists to make collaboration between education and industry clearer, faster, and more scalable—without asking institutions to compromise mission or quality.
What the E2i Platform is
E2i is the bridge between education and industry.
The E2i Platform is a discovery and access experience that helps:
Schools and learning organizations showcase enterprise-ready programs and gain visibility into active employer learning projects and RFP-style opportunities
Employer organizations surface credible, outcomes-driven learning partners for real workforce needs
E2i Impact Architects guide alignment, scoping, and pilot design using proven partnership frameworks
Through the Platform, participating schools and learning organizations can view employer-initiated projects and submit proposals or expressions of interest when there is clear alignment.
This is not a directory.
It’s an ecosystem designed for fit, trust, and execution.
Designed for learning organizations that serve working learners and employers
Executive Education & custom corporate programs
Workforce development & professional/continuing education
Onsite degree programs
Certificates, bootcamps, and micro-credentials
Industry-aligned undergraduate and graduate pathways
Work-based, experiential learning & trainings
Leadership, management, and technical upskilling programs
Public, private, nonprofit, and mission-driven providers welcome

Where the E2i Platform Fits — and Why It Matters
A shared operating model that supports discovery, alignment, and execution
More than a platform. A system for execution.
The E2i Platform is not a standalone marketplace—it is the connective infrastructure within a broader ecosystem designed to turn collaboration into performance.
At its core, E2i brings together employers, schools and learning organizations, and certified Impact Architects inside a shared operating model—one that makes it easier to move from intent to execution.
Through the Platform, learning organizations don’t just showcase programs. They gain visibility into real employer priorities, participate in aligned projects, and co-create solutions that can scale—supported by E2i’s partnership frameworks and performance advisory.
This is what we mean by transformative collaboration:
not networking, not transactions—but a repeatable way to align capability, talent, and outcomes across sectors.
A vehicle for performance—not just connection
E2i is built to ensure learning partnerships deliver measurable value. That’s why the Platform is guided by:
E2i Impact Architects, who support alignment, scoping, and readiness
The E2i Partnership Activator, enabling co-creation between employers and learning organizations
E2i Performance Advisory, connecting learning initiatives to business and workforce outcomes
Together, these elements transform the Platform into a vehicle for execution, not just discovery.
* And Flexible by Design
Participation in the E2i Platform does not require engagement across all E2i solutions.
Schools and learning organizations may choose to:
Showcase programs for visibility and discovery
Engage Guided Pathways when partnership structure is needed
Apply E2i Services when additional support adds value
Each component is designed to stand alone — and work better together when appropriate.
Our Big Picture.
E2i is where education and industry don’t just meet—they build, execute, and perform together.
Participation on the E2i Platform does not require contracting for additional E2i services—schools and learning organizations may engage solely through the Platform, and opt into other support only if and when it adds value.
Build what comes next—together.
The future of workforce learning won’t be built by education or industry alone.
It will be built by organizations willing to align, co-create, and execute—around real needs, real learners, and real outcomes.
The E2i Platform exists to make that collaboration possible at scale—without forcing fit, compromising mission, or adding unnecessary complexity.
If your institution is ready to be visible, credible, and engaged in shaping what’s next, we invite you to join the Founding Cohort.
