What Is the National Fund?

Involving nearly 200 foundations and 500 employers, the National Fund is working to bring to national scale, and evaluate, new ways to prepare workers - who don't have the needed skills - for careers that can support them and their families.

The approach varies from community to community, and from industry sector to industry sector. What every National Fund site has in common though is intensive collaboration with employers and a keen focus on cultivating employee skills and career advancement.

The National Fund is dedicated to preparing jobseekers and employees for a career, not just a job. The National Fund brings together local and regional leaders from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors to spark and drive innovation. They work hand-in-hand to create practices and systems that can help employers and employees succeed in a post-recession economy.
