Hello colleagues!
I'm pleased to share registration info for National Skills Coalition's upcoming free webinar. I'm excited about sharing our data with the field -- it should be useful for adult education advocates and others who care about pathways to help service-sector workers build foundational English, reading, math, and technology skills.
Below is the registration info. Hope you can join us!

Nearly 20 million American workers in retail, hospitality, and healthcare have limited literacy, numeracy, or technology-related skills. Tune in to the webinar for detailed new findings from NSC's Foundational Skills in the Service Sector report, which draws on data from the Survey of Adult Skills (PIAAC) to shed light on working adults ages 16-64 who have limited basic skills. Learn how some employers are investing in skill-building opportunities for these workers, and find out how you can advocate for effective state and federal policies to support adult education and upskilling.
Presenter: Amanda Bergson-Shilcock, NSC's Director of Upskilling Policy
