Schools and employers are working to close the same readiness gap. Cengage Group's 2025 Graduate Employability Report found that 48% of recent college graduates feel unprepared to apply for entry-level jobs in their field.

The good news: both sides are moving on this. Program leaders are redesigning around employer input. Employers are getting more intentional about growing their people into career pathways.

In our latest BOUNCE Ahead, we walk through how these partnerships get started and what helps them hold together over time.

Schools and employers know they need each other. Here's how to start the conversation, structure the relationship, and build a partnership.

“We’ll help you find opportunities” is easy to say and hard to believe. “This program includes an apprenticeship with [Employer X]” is something adult learners can act on.

Apprenticeships, co-ops, and internships are some of the strongest recruiting tools a workforce program has. They’re concrete, they're marketable, and they give employers a structured way to build their own new-hire pipelines instead of posting a job and hoping.

There’s a second opportunity once someone’s hired, too: helping those same employers formalize the informal pathways, mentorship, stretch assignments that keep people moving up once they’re in the door.

Our latest BOUNCE Ahead breaks down both:

Apprenticeships and co-ops give workforce programs something concrete to sell employers, and a way to help new hires advance once they're in.

We just rebuilt our entire visual identity, and we built it around a simple idea.

BOUNCE was founded by two people who see this work from opposite sides of the table. Ada spent nearly two decades building marketing discipline at places like Y&R and Citi. George spent 15+ years running adult workforce and continuing education programs from the inside, at public and private institutions.

Our new logo shows two circles meeting. The overlap is deliberate. It's the point where strategy and lived program experience stop sitting side by side and start working as one. That's where every BOUNCE engagement starts.

New look. New site. Same commitment to the workforce and continuing education organizations doing this work every day.

If you work in workforce or adult learning, this was built with you in mind:

BOUNCE is a workforce and adult learning growth firm helping programs grow enrollment, employer partnerships, and institutional credibility.
