With support from @LuminaFound and @gatesfoundation, we’ve worked with states to define, measure, and track quality credentials; and now offer takeaways for how to advance quality assurance so that policymakers feel confident in investing in NDCs. https://t.co/wF3gmdLSjm

This morning, the Senate Appropriations committee passed the Labor-Health and Human Services-Education bill through committee. Level funding for #wkdev, small increase for #apprenticeship. Supported by members on both sides of the aisle.

[National Skills Coalition @SkillsCoalition]

On the move in the Senate: JOBS Act (a #wkdev package that @skillscoalition has longtime advocated for) along with leg that would expand partnerships between biz and training providers, support career pathway programs, and that would modernize the national #apprenticeship act.

TY to @aspenideas and @comcast for the chance to dig in with Commerce's Zoe Baird and Google's @LisaGevelber about what it will take from both the private sector and gov't policy when 92% of today's jobs require digital skills currently out of reach for millions of US workers.

[Andy Van Kleunen @AndyVKNSC]

Only at #AspenIdeas would you get a chance to do a @WorkingNation podcast with @RamonaWritesLA in a Bucky Dome! Looking forward to hearing the future playback of our discussion about #skills, policy, future workforce opps/challenges and the history of the @SkillsCoalition.

[Andy Van Kleunen @AndyVKNSC]

Proud to be here at #AspenIdeas with the @Comcast team. Today, some of us are at a session about Democratizing Wealth, led by my long-time @AspenInstitute colleague @idarademacher , with @Prudential ‘s @latareddy , @macfound ‘s @jpalfrey and Robinhood’s Baiju Bhatt.

[Andy Van Kleunen @AndyVKNSC]

On 6/27, @CommerceGov Sr. Counselor Zoë Baird, @LisaGevelber, moderator @CharterWorks co-founder @delaney, and I will be taking the #AspenIdeas stage to discuss solutions for a skilled and fair workforce. Follow @AspenIdeas and join the conversation!

[Andy Van Kleunen @AndyVKNSC]

Looking forward to kicking off Day2 of @OnRampEdu . I learned so much from these ed-tech innovators yesterday. Today I’ll share where #skillspolicy needs to get equally innovative to meet the needs to 10s of millions of working folks. @gener8tor @ecmcgroup @ECMCFoundation

[Andy Van Kleunen @AndyVKNSC]

Some personal news: early next year I will be stepping down as CEO of @SkillsCoalition. It has been an incredible ride! I hope you’ll take a moment to read my thoughts of gratitude and hope for this next phase of NSC’s work. https://t.co/G4YPHEtwmC

We've got new brief! Creating an Equitable, Resilient Workforce System offer some new ideas on #WIOA to change it from an under-funded system to one that's adequately resourced to deliver high quality #skillstraining & #wkdev

@gobluebrod @SkillsCoalition @ElectWells @martinezruckman @Andy_Levin It is always great to be in conversation with you about closing the #digitalskill divide and our nation's #infrastructure. I look forward to continuing to work with you and @Comcast. Until next time!

Take a moment today to familiarize yourself with the research, and then join our network on Feb 22 where we will begin to assist skills advocates in having #digitalequity conversations in their state. https://t.co/g1lL8mP45X #wkdev @AtlantaFed

[Andy Van Kleunen @AndyVKNSC]

There's no question as to whether #digitalskills are as important as broadband and devices. @SkillsCoalition and @AtlantaFed researched, analyzed, and are now reporting back on how state policymakers can effectively target new federal resources to close the digital divide.

[Andy Van Kleunen @AndyVKNSC]

We at the @SkillsCoalition are excited to have @Comcast by our side in efforts to close the digital skill divide, generating measurable economic payoff for businesses, workers, and the broader economy.

[Andy Van Kleunen @AndyVKNSC]

TY Biden-Harris -- and our reps in Congress-- for the $500M to replace lead pipes from the Belmont Treatment Plant! And thx for all the other planned investments in fixing Roosevelt Boulevard, making our streets safer, and upgrading the Philly airport!

[Andy Van Kleunen @AndyVKNSC]

Who cares about road closures? Philly is ready to welcome @POTUS and the @VP to tout what the city is already planning with federal investments in #Infrastructure and #wkdev training to rebuild our city and diversify our building trades.
