Five Years of UpSkill America: What’s Next?
The fifth anniversary of UpSkill America is here! At this special event, we look both back at what we have learned about upskilling the last five years and forward to what the upskilling movement needs to achieve in the years ahead.
Since our founding, momentum for upskilling has continued to grow, with businesses large and small across the country creating new programs and developing innovative approaches to make it easier for employees to access training and education that can help advance their careers. These new strategies for upskilling represent a sea change in businesses’ approach to education, as they see the value of advancing the skills of employees at all levels in supporting opportunity and helping their bottom lines.
To celebrate this anniversary, we bring together leaders in business, researchers, policymakers, and upskilling program graduates to share what we’ve learned over the past five years, highlight innovative approaches to upskilling, discuss solutions to common challenges, and explore the future of the upskilling movement.
We’re thankful to Accenture, Lumina Foundation, Pearson, Strada Education Network, Study.com, and Walmart for their support of our work and this event. For others looking to support the work of UpSkill America, please contact Jaime Fall: jaime.fall@aspeninst.org.
