Duration
12 months
Description
The National Skills Coalition (NSC) was founded in 2000 to advocate for inclusive, high-quality career pathways for those typically left behind by our nation’s postsecondary system. Through expert analysis and technical assistance, broad-based organizing, targeted advocacy, and cutting-edge communications, NSC focuses on state and federal skills policies that address the needs of the broadest range of workers and industries while also redressing the racial inequities created by the systems that determine who gets a chance to succeed. NSC is diverse and non-partisan, drawing from the ranks of business, labor, education, the public sector, and community advocates across a range of sectors. General support from the Corporation will allow NSC to pursue an interconnected federal and state strategy to significantly reform higher education policies to make college work for working people, with a particular emphasis on advancing racial equity through these policy reforms.
