Thus, the Commission created the Partnership Pentagon. The Partnership Pentagon is intentionally comprised of leaders who possess a variety of ideas and beliefs with the common goal of discussing big ideas and topics impacting higher education and the workforce in Indiana. The Partnership Pentagon has allowed the Commission to enhance critically important collaboration with thought leaders from five key sectors of Indiana society, including business, education, government, non-profits (community- and faith-based organizations), and philanthropy. The partners work in tandem with the Commission to better understand and propose solutions to Indiana's higher education challenges and opportunities. The partners' work aims to maximize the impact of the five sectors amongst one another as multiplicative rather than simply additive. The guiding principles of the Partnership Pentagon are the seven goals of the Commission's HOPE Agenda, designed to increase opportunities to access economic and social mobility and prosperity for all Hoosiers. For employers, these goals yield a robust and future-oriented talent pipeline and more stable and thriving communities throughout Indiana. From April 2023 through June 2024, the full Partnership Pentagon met for six meetings in Indianapolis at the Indiana State Library. In advance of each meeting, partners received an agenda, a brief overview of the meeting topic, a summary of the policy landscape in Indiana, and a review of relevant best practices across the country. Following each meeting, partners received a report outlining key takeaways. The philanthropy sector held additional meetings. The issue briefs, presentations, discussion notes, and key takeaways from each meeting have been used to formulate a comprehensive set of strategic recommendations from the Partnership Pentagon to bolster the success of the Commission's HOPE Agenda. The recommendations outlined in this report serve as a menu of options for leaders from all five sectors of the Partnership Pentagon. This report is not an implementation plan with a defined timeline. The Commission does not expect all recommendations to be enacted. Instead, the Commission encourages all industries to consider what role they play in execution -- whether it is through a leadership or supporting role. The recommendations in this report do not necessarily represent the views of any individual partners, or the organizations they represent. However, the recommendations have been formulated based on themes drawn from the discussions in each of the six Partnership Pentagon meetings and additional philanthropy sector meetings. Furthermore, the recommendations are not inclusive of every idea mentioned in issue briefs, meeting discussions and key takeaways, and reflection emails received from partners. Rather, the recommendations have been intentionally selected based on the ability of one or more sectors of the Partnership Pentagon to implement and on their relevance to the HOPE Agenda. |
