Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
Thank you for your interest in Skills for America’s Future at the Aspen Institute.
As of May 2016, the Institute’s work related to employer engagement and workforce development and education occurs under the auspices of the Economic Opportunities Program and its Workforce Strategies Initiative. Additionally, Upskill America, an initiative of the Economic Opportunities Program and an important legacy of Skills for America’s Future, continues to highlight employer efforts to invest in the skills and economic opportunities of workers.
Skills for Chicagoland’s Future, a long-time partner of the Aspen Institute, has assumed the Skills for America’s Future brand. Under this umbrella, Skills for America’s Future aims to replicate the Skills for Chicagoland’s Future model in regions around the country. More information of this effort can be found here.

This endline evaluation of the Shared Success demonstration aims to understand the impact of the work of the 11 community lenders who integrated job quality programming into their small business support services.
We get it right when we focus on fundamentals: recognize that job quality matters more than job quantity; center care work as essential to economic function; build coalitions across labor, technology policy, and civil society; understand that flexibility without security is precarity; remember that workers are also caregivers, creatives, and civic leaders.
“We are delighted to welcome this new class of Fellows,” said UpSkill America Senior Director Haley Glover. “Supporting these leaders, who are joining a thriving community of alumni, to advance in their work and careers creating real value for their organizations and opportunities for their workforces is so rewarding. This is an incredibly impressive group.”
We’re in the last month of our #JobQuality survey. If your org is improving #JobQuality, add your voice to this survey from The Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program by December 31st.
