The Skills Summit
The Skills Summit is NSC’s largest event of the year, convening every stakeholder, every system, every movement, and every political stripe to advance equity and break down the systemic barriers that prevent too many Americans from accessing high-quality, inclusive skills training leading to good jobs and careers. At the Skills Summit, we bring the field together to talk about opportunities happening right now in Washington, D.C. to scale and sustain best practices through public policy.
