About Us: The SkillPointe Story
We created SkillPointe to help close the skills gap. Employers can’t find workers with the right skills. Meanwhile, students are struggling to get good-paying jobs without going into debt or spending too much time in school.
Our mission is to solve both problems.
We make it easy for students to:
- Explore in-demand, skills-based careers.
- Find the training they need, anywhere in the U.S.
- Secure financial support and other services.
- Get the job.
We help students and employers by providing clear career pathways and training focused on filling specific, in-demand roles.
To accelerate our mission, we’ve joined forces with the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE). NACCE is a 501(c)(3), tax-exempt organization that provides resources to transform underserved communities through community college engagement.
NACCE acquired SkillPointe on Dec. 31, 2023, when SkillPointe became a nonprofit division.
Together, we amplify the importance of skills-based careers.
