VISION
We envision a world where students and workers have clear pathways to learning and working in meaningful careers and where employers have a skilled workforce focused on performance, growth and opportunity.
MISSION
To improve economic opportunity and quality of life for Americans by better connecting the working world and the learning world.
Some five million U.S. jobs are left unfilled because of a mismatch between the skills workers possess and those employers need.
The National Network of Business and Industry Associations (National Network) works to bridge the “skills gap” by better connecting the worlds of learning and work. We’ve brought together a cross-section of business and industry groups to help communicate to learning institutions the skills employers are looking for, as well as to help industries and employers adjust their hiring and business practices to focus on the competencies and skills workers have and are developing in today’s evolving economy.
