The National Network of Business and Industry Associations
The National Network of Business and Industry Associations is coordinating cross-sector efforts to close the “skills gap.” Members include leaders in the manufacturing, retail, healthcare, energy, construction, hospitality, transportation and information technology sectors. Efforts have focused on supporting stackable credentials, common employability skills that cut across sectors, and hiring based on competency. This initiative is managed by ACT Foundation and Business Roundtable and funded by the Joyce Foundation, ACT Foundation, Lumina Foundation and Walmart.
