PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Alliance for Decision Education (the Alliance), a national nonprofit organization leading the movement to have decision-making be part of every student’s learning experience, today announced its Workforce Council.

Through the Workforce Council (WFC), the Alliance inspires, recruits, and assembles a network of professionals and organizations dedicated to Decision Education. The council recognizes the critical importance of better decision-making in the workplace and adds the voices of the nation’s largest employers to the growing call for Decision Education in schools across the country.

"For years, we've seen growing demand across various business and industry sectors for the skills and dispositions taught in Decision Education—such as structuring their decisions, thinking probabilistically, resisting cognitive biases, and applying rationality,” said Adriana Massara, Interim Executive Director of the Alliance. "This council will help us ensure that students are learning the decision-making skills in the classroom that will enable them to thrive in the workplace—so they can start their careers equipped with the tools for success from day one."

The initial members of the Decision Education Workforce Council include:

Ayisha Irfan, Lead, Product Strategy, Strategic Response and Emerging Regulations at Google
Sean Madgett, VP and Head of Business Development for NYL Ventures
Rajiv Mehrotra, Senior Director, Decision Science at EY
Eyas Raddad, B.Pharm., M.B.A., Ph.D., Associate Vice President at Lilly Research Laboratories
Rachel Selleck, Chief Government Affairs Officer, Providence Healthcare
Jordan Stephens, Controller, Intel Corporation
