Join fellow Workforce Development Board leaders, Board members, and industry partners for a facilitated post-conference working session focused on advancing skills-based talent strategies across local and regional workforce systems. This session marks the formal launch of NAWB’s Skills Toolkit and features insights from our sponsor Walmart, the Kauffman Foundation, CBEN, and Britebound, bringing together employer demand, philanthropic leadership, and systems-level implementation expertise.
Participants will engage in a guided walkthrough of the Skills Toolkit, exploring how it is designed to support boards, employers, and partners in implementing skills-based approaches enabled by Learning and Employment Record (LER) infrastructure. The conversation will surface practical examples, shared challenges, and emerging practices from across the skills ecosystem.
Participants will leave with shared language, clearer role alignment, and actionable insights they can immediately take back to their boards, employers, and partners to advance skills-based talent strategies in their regions.
**NOTE: This is a post-conference on Thursday after The Forum 2026. Attendees will want to ensure they make adequate travel accommodations.**
