From early childhood through classroom and career, BPC is bridging the partisan divide in support of America’s workers, families, and businesses.

The Human Capital program includes critical policy areas, such as early childhood, paid family leave, child welfare, education, immigration, business, and workforce development, to advance a talent strategy for the nation.
