What is the Network?

The AI/SkillsTech Network is an initiative to advance skills-based hiring and foster experimentation with new HR workforce tools that are based upon skills. We are a collaborative community of tech developers, employers, and nonprofits who support one another with knowledge-sharing and shared discovery.

How we deliver

The Network offers community-driven webinars, a peer project exchange, expert consultations with affiliated Northeastern faculty and opportunities to experiment with cutting-edge tools in workforce management.
