ABOUT THE SKILLS SUMMIT
The 2026 Skills Summit is an advocacy-focused convening for workforce policy champions who are eager to protect workforce investments that workers, local businesses, and our economy rely on - while shaping a more fair and prosperous future for everyone.
Held in Washington, DC on February 5-6, 2026, the Skills Summit is a chance for NSC’s network of practitioners, workers, students, and employers to influence members of Congress at a pivotal moment – before key funding and implementation decisions are made.
At a time of political and economic uncertainty, the Skills Summit is a call to action. Together, we’ll work to protect the policies that workers count on to train for and land quality jobs – and the policies that local businesses depend on to grow and diversify their workforce. We’ll fight for our vision of an America where every person is guaranteed skills training, good jobs, and economic prosperity.
Don’t watch from the sidelines. Join us in Washington D.C. to protect the programs your community relies on and envision the future.
"The NSC Skills Summit plays a crucial role in empowering education- and workforce-minded people with the tools they need to impact critical policy decisions,” said Ja’Bette Lozupone, Director of Student Affairs at Montgomery College. “You walk away better understanding key policies, your role in advocacy, and how to make a significant impact at the state and federal level.”
