Skillful State Network

Skillful State Network The Skillful State Network is a collaboration to transform the U.S. labor market at scale to one that is skills-based, in which people can demonstrate or obtain the skills needed for good digital economy jobs. The Skillful State Network will support transformation at a scale and pace not possible through individual state actions. The Network will elevate and advance practices and ideas that states can adopt to achieve their workforce goals, including aligning education with industry; providing robust data to jobseekers; or training employers on skills-based practices. Skillful’s on-the-ground operations, Skillful Colorado and Skillful Indiana, work with local organizations to accelerate the adoption of skills-based practices; providing the opportunity to test approaches and share insights with the Skillful State Network.
