SkillSPAN is the state action arm of National Skills Coalition. We’re the first and only national network of multi-stakeholder coalitions that develop and promote skills policies. We connect workforce experts and skills advocates across states, amplify their collective voice in state capitals, and inspire action at the federal level – all to help people get jobs that reflect their career aspirations, to help business find skilled workers, and help states build strong, inclusive economies.

NSC’s SkillSPAN is a network led by independent organizations. Each “lead” organization convenes a multi-stakeholder skills coalition in their state. State coalitions include training providers, policy researchers, workforce advocates, community colleges, community based organizations, businesses, unions, state agencies and others. Together, they advocate for a shared skills policy agenda in the state. SkillSPAN coalitions and their lead organizations are listed below. Where just one name is listed, the lead organization and the coalition share the same name.

NSC’s has released Building the Future Workforce – a playbook for state policymakers, governors, advocates and state agency leaders who want to cultivate a strong, diverse, multigenerational workforce capable of driving the development and maintenance of our nation’s new infrastructure.
