About The Skilling America Distinguished Fellows Network
The Skilling America Distinguished Fellows Network is a high caliber network of leaders in the workforce field dedicated to the development of a resilient, transparent system that supports economic opportunity for all individuals.
Distinguished Fellows are nominated based on their success in facilitating the adoption of competency-based methodologies and career navigation across multiple locations and industries. They serve as subject matter experts for the development of Skilling America curriculum and support program implementation in their communities.
The Network was established in 2018, and is managed by Hope Street Group with contributions from the Arconic Foundation. For more information about the Network and ways to collaborate with these workforce leaders, please contact us at (contact@skillingamerica.org).
