Abstract
State and federal elected officials face an urgent question: Are our education policies equitably serving a diverse workforce and nimbly responding to the evolving skill needs of our 21st century economy? NSC has been building political momentum around an economic imperative: Developing public data systems that allow elected
officials to answer this question. With awareness and political urgency elevated, NSC is now expanding our work with advocates, practitioners, and state and federal officials to develop smart data policies, systems, and tools that tell us if we're skilling our workforce and if we're doing it in a racially equitable, inclusive way.
