"At the time I was far from the C-suite, but the idea stuck with me. Over time, I came to understand that job creation has two tracks. First, it's about building the conditions for growth inside your organization - expanding your business in ways that create opportunity for employees, particularly those at the start of their careers. If your revenue is not growing rapidly, you are likely not creating many new jobs."
"Second, it's about looking outward - investing in and engaging with the communities you serve to cultivate the next generation of talent, molding the future workforce so that it is job ready. At Honeywell, our commitment to preparing the next generation for this technology-driven economy is enabled by a new model of public-private partnership, one in which industry, government, and educators collaborate to scale access, relevance and opportunity, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world application."
CEOs have a central role in creating jobs through two approaches: expanding internal business growth to generate employee opportunities and engaging externally to develop community talent. Industry, government, and educators must form public-private partnerships to scale access, relevance, and practical experience that bridge academic theory and workplace application. Strategic investments in workforce education support national competitiveness by offering flexible, skill-based pathways across middle school, high school, college, and internships. Policymakers should realign priorities through tax incentives, workforce grants, and credentialing reform to make applied workforce education — especially how to build things — a national economic priority.
