ABOUT THE SKILLS SUMMIT
National Skills Coalition’s largest event of the year took place May 5 - 7, 2025 at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The Skills Summit is the only national workforce event where the day-to-day advocates, training providers, policymakers, and business leaders gather to shape and influence state and federal skills policy—and make real change happen for workers and businesses.
Each year at the Summit:
-
Local organizers and stakeholders engage with federal policymakers.
-
Changemakers and skills advocates get practical guidance and gather ideas to develop state policy plans.
-
Dynamic panels influence and shape the field’s conversations.
Celebrating NSC’s 25th anniversary, Skills Summit 2025 brought together state and national policymakers and advocates together to discuss the crucial connections between state and federal skills policy.
