SkillUp Coalition

SkillUp is a virtual organization dedicated to helping workers get hired for in-demand jobs in high-growth industries.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken an economic toll on America’s workers. To address this critical need, we launched the SkillUp Coalition in July 2020, an upskilling non-profit coalition built to help America’s laid-off and furloughed workers access the training and employment opportunities they need to secure a place in the economy of the future.

Rather than push workers back into jobs just like the ones they left, SkillUp gives workers the opportunity to build new skills that are suited to in-demand jobs with promising career paths.

Just one year later, SkillUp comprises over 60 organizations including training and education providers, tech firms, employers and philanthropies. We have connected over 500,000 workers to career and training supports throughout the country and are eager to reach 1 Million in the coming months.

We proudly support all workers, at any stage of their journey, and create an affordable, equitable, upskilling ecosystem that allows anyone the opportunity to claim their career.
