National Skills Coalition’s 2024 Year in Review

By Carlos Diaz Barriga, January 13, 2025

We are a national coalition that advocates for policies that strengthen the nation’s workforce and ensure local businesses can meet the demands of a rapidly shifting economy. In 2024, we celebrated achievements in:

  • Federal policy
  • State-based advocacy
  • The 2024 Skills Summit
  • NSC’s four advocacy campaigns: Digital Equity @ Work, Making College Work, People Powered Infrastructure, Creating an Equitable, Resilient Workforce; and
  • Milestones across our networks: Voices for Skills, SkillSPAN, and Business Leaders United for Workforce Partnerships (BLU)

Looking to the future, NSC remains steadfast in our commitment to advocate for policies that ensure every person in America has access to affordable skills training, career pathways to quality jobs, and supportive services like child care, long-term care, and transportation that make it possible for them to thrive in their jobs. We’re excited to embark on our next phase, and we hope you will stay with us on the journey.
