Our goal is to empower workers seeking better jobs and economic mobility by providing the tools and support to help them change their lives. We intend to help 100,000 individuals secure high-opportunity employment by the end of 2025.
To do so, we've built a worker-first learning agenda and product experience that meets the needs of the millions of individuals without a college degree who are skilled through alternative routes (STARs).
What we've accomplished thus far is in great thanks to:
The 150+ coalition partners who have joined us in our mission
Expanding to 30+ regions and remote offerings
Dedicated staff qualifying career paths and training programs
Platform features measuring training and job referrals, job placements, wage increases, and more
SkillUp workers supported
SkillUp profile creators
SkillUp users referred to training providers
SkillUp users who attained jobs
Additional wages to SkillUp job attainers
SkillUp career coaching participants
Return on Investment (ROI)
"The SkillUp Coalition, launched in 2020, is meant to help workers leverage their talents and strengths and define their futures through proactive outreach, personalized career exploration, and training and employer connections. Every person has unique gifts and deserves the chance to express them, but the college-for-all mentality has made some believe they can't. Our aim is to break barriers standing in their way and help 100,000 individuals secure high-opportunity employment by the end of 2025."

The SkillUp Together Fund sought to provide grant funding to help lower the barriers to enrollment in high-quality career pathway programs. The results? Stipends of $1,000 led to six-month retention rates nearly twice that of participants who didn't receive the stipend.
