NSC Announces New Dates For Annual Skills Summit

We’re heading to Washington, D.C. early in the year - on February 5 & 6, 2026. It’s timed so we can influence members of Congress at a pivotal moment – before key funding and implementation decisions are made. This summit is designed specifically for enthusiastic workforce advocates who want to visit congressional offices and push for federal workforce policies. If you’re ready to spend a day advocating on Capitol Hill, we hope you’ll join us!
Skills Summit

Equipping Workers, Building Futures

At National Skills Coalition, we know that real, lasting policy change takes both immediate action and a long-term vision. That’s why our new federal policy priorities report outlines bold, practical solutions—ensuring workers are guaranteed skills training, good jobs, and economic prosperity.
Federal Policy Priorities

Every worker. Every industry. A strong economy.

Jobs that require skills training are the backbone of our economy. National Skills Coalition (NSC) fights for a national commitment to inclusive, high-quality skills training so that more people have access to a better life, and more local businesses see sustained growth.
