The Markle Foundation is looking for a third-party provider to assess and expand the impact of the Rework America Business Network (RABN), an initiative that brings together 11 leading U.S. employers who collectively employ over 2.2 million people in order to improve worker access to pathways to career success through increased adoption of skills-based practices.
In particular, Markle is looking for a provider to:
- develop a set of metrics to estimate the impact of RABN's efforts and a methodology for regularly tracking those metrics,
- establish a replicable model for tracking awareness and adoption of skills-based practices among American employers over time, especially among key individuals required for widespread change (e.g. HR leaders and other executives at Fortune 500 companies, policymakers, HR technology leaders),
- create high-level models of the potential impact on workers and businesses of adopting individual practices along with a measure of the relative difficulty of implementation to inform prioritization, and
- serve as a thought partner for refining and prioritizing planned initiatives across RABN's five pillars of work outlined above.
The deadline for submitting questions is March 11, and the deadline for submitting proposals is March 25.
