Business Leaders United for Workforce Partnerships (BLU) is a free, private network comprised of employers from a range of industry sectors across the nation who are concerned that America’s workforce does not have adequate access to skills training. Our network is working with local partners to train and hire community residents for skilled jobs—and advocating for our country’s policymakers to follow suit and invest in the skills of America’s workers. BLU promotes inclusive, high-quality skills training policies that help build the workforce that businesses need to grow and thrive.
