Company History
The organization was founded in the early 1990s by philanthropist and financier Michael Milken and his brother, Lowell Milken, as the Milken Institute for Job and Capital Formation. Its original focus on the interaction between education and job growth has expanded to include a much broader research agenda over the years.
