National Work Readiness Council

The National Work Readiness Council, established in 2003 and incorporated in 2007, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to workforce development training and advocacy. Formed with the support of various partners, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and state labor departments, the Council aims to address the foundational skills gap essential for job seekers to pursue career pathways.

By collaborating with employers, educators, and workforce training professionals, the Council has developed a common language and standards for defining foundational career readiness. Its future focus includes building coalitions to promote best practices, researching in-demand skills, and advancing policies that enhance career readiness across the nation.
