Summit Sequels: Making Skills Training Affordable for Working Adults

Affordable and high-quality education and training is essential for an inclusive economic recovery. However, too often, financial assistance programs are not accessible to working adults or fail to incorporate in-demand skills training. Some states have taken the lead in developing strategies that address these barriers, including through college promise programs, cross-system partnerships, and alignment of federal and state funding streams. The National Skills Coalition will host a discussion on June 1, 2022 at 3:30 p.m. ET where panelists will share creative approaches to expanding affordable access to skills training at community colleges and the economic and equity imperative driving these solutions.
