Education Design Lab

Education Design Lab (“the Lab”) is a national nonprofit helping educators and workforce groups respond to the changing needs of both learners and employers. The Lab has partnered with some of the most aspirational institutions, and often their ecosystem partners, as they consider how to design their offerings to serve learners flexibly with more data-driven, human-centered models, processes and tools. Our biggest areas of work include improved career pathway visibility, micro-pathways, 21st Century skills, micro-credentials, alternative on-ramps to degree, upskilling workers and training college leadership teams in change management and agile prototyping. The Lab is unlike other organizations in the nonprofit education space. We are boundary spanners and work across disciplines and alongside schools, employers, entrepreneurs, government, foundations, nonprofits, and innovators. We are known for our work on the ground and have significant experience managing national and local learning cohorts, working with organizations such as Ascendium, The Lumina Foundation, the Gates Foundation, Walmart, American Council on Education, and the ECMC Foundation.
