Join Opportunity@Work's Skills-First Caucus
At Opportunity@Work, we believe a labor market where everyone can work, learn, and earn to their full potential is within reach.
STARs (workers Skilled Through Alternative Routes) — who make up the majority of the U.S. workforce — reflect the broader experience of American workers. By creating a system that works for STARs, we unlock opportunity for all workers.
Opportunity@Work’s policy agenda offers a roadmap toward building a skills-based labor market. We invite policymakers and government leaders alike to join us in advancing bold, practical reforms across three key policy areas:
- Promoting skills as the key measure of value in hiring and advancement.
- Building a skills-based talent ecosystem aligned across public and private sectors.
- Expanding access to lifelong learning and career mobility for STARs.
