Watch: ACCELERATE the Essential Economy

In 2025, the inaugural version of ACCELERATE the Essential Economy brought business and government leaders together and surfaced a clear conclusion: The skilled trades gap is the Essential Economy's single biggest challenge, and closing it is its greatest opportunity.

This year, ACCELERATE convened business and policy leaders, educators, small and mid-sized business owners, and Essential Economy workers to explore cross-sector solutions to closing this gap.
