Skills for an Inclusive Economic Recovery: An Agenda for President Biden and Congress
National Skills Coalition
America faces the most devastating economic crisis since the Great Depression, and National Skills Coalition (NSC) stands with the working people and local businesses who have been most impacted by the pandemic's economic fallout. Equitable opportunities for working people and local businesses to participate in and benefit from a rebound and possible expansion of our economy are not fated; they are determined by decisions made in Washington, D.C. NSC's member businesses, labor-management partnerships, community organizations, community colleges, education and workforce experts are calling on the President and Congress to be a partner in building an inclusive economic recovery that addresses the disproportionate impact of the economic crisis on workers of color, immigrants, and workers with a high school diploma or less; the essential role of small businesses who hire locally and invest in their people but need policymakers to be their partner; and the moral and economic imperative to dismantle the structural racism within workforce education and training systems that hold back workers, businesses, and the economy. In this report, NSC has put forward this vision as well as a set of principles and policy goals that should drive the nation's skills policy response. In this eight-part federal agenda NSC offers a set of specific legislative responses -- each supported by over 70 percent of voters -- that the President and Congress can enact immediately to help realize this vision.
