P2T – backed by respected local and national voices and more than 50 partners in education, business, and innovation – wants to bridge the gap between seasoned education policy advocates and local researchers, entrepreneurs and classroom teachers who have promising ideas but limited policymaking experience.

"Across the country, we hear about the pressing need for fresh ideas in an evolving education landscape," said Hanna Skandera, former Secretary of Education for the State of New Mexico and P2T founder. "We believe these incentives can help bring together skilled policymakers and innovative, solution-oriented community leaders."

Potential topics for proposals may include, but are not limited to, new delivery systems in K-12 knowledge; alternative higher education pathways for workforce training; optimizing technology use in K-12; higher education debt relief, and much more.

Deborah Quazzo, GSV Acceleration Fund managing partner, said, "The wheels are in motion to make lasting change in education to give all people equal access to the future. Now is the time to bring forward even more ideas to help us disrupt the status quo and see faster results. P2T provides this opportunity."

Bill Hansen, Strada Education Network CEO agrees. "We are in a critical moment to strengthen the pathways between education and employment. Pathway 2 Tomorrow has successfully brought together a broad coalition of entities and organizations committed to discovering solutions to these challenges."

P2T will support selected proposals for creation of implementation plans at scale and develop a toolkit of solutions for state and local policy leaders. In a second phase, P2T will help local leaders build coalitions around shared policy priorities and intentional outcomes, with implementation plans for impact.
