About the Event

Presented in partnership with Third Sector, join us virtually on Jan. 20 to learn how Skill Savings Accounts can be used to finance education and skills development for America’s workforce.  

In today’s rapidly evolving economy, employers and workers face mounting pressure to keep pace with changing skills. Meeting this challenge requires new levels of agility—and stronger collaboration—between business, education, and training providers.

Skill Savings Accounts is an emerging approach developed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation that helps employers invest in their workforce, support workers in accessing high-quality training, and enable innovation in how education is delivered. 

This webinar is the third in our series on benefits that help businesses invest in their workers. Check out the first installment on employer education assistance programs here, and the second installment on 529 savings plans here.
