WHY SKILLS SUMMIT
The Skills Summit is National Skills Coalition’s annual gathering of passionate workers, learners, practitioners, businesses, advocates, and state and local leaders who come together to connect, share ideas, and shape the future of workforce policy. You’ll hear what’s working across the country, brainstorm solutions to the challenges ahead, and engage directly with policymakers in Washington, D.C.
This year, we’re launching something bigger. After a year of listening to workers, learners, businesses, practitioners, advocates, and leaders across the country, NSC will launch A New Promise of Work—a bold new national workforce policy agenda. It’s time to flip the script: workforce development shouldn’t be a “second-chance” system. It should be a first-choice investment in people, businesses, and our economy.
Be among the first to experience the agenda, take it to Capitol Hill, and join the movement working to turn this vision into action.
Join us in Washington, D.C., on March 3–5, 2027.
Come for the conversation. Leave ready to act.
