The Campaign to Invest in America’s Workforce (CIAW)
CIAW is a diverse coalition of national organizations that offer direct services, advocacy, research, and policy development to help people of all ages and conditions develop their skills, enter gainful employment, and enroll and succeed in postsecondary education.
CIAW calls for greater and more effective federal investments in our nation’s skills so more U.S. businesses can find the skilled workers they need to compete globally, and so all U.S. workers can share in and contribute to our country’s economic prosperity.
National Coalition Urges Congress to Increase Investment in Workforce Development
On March 12, 2025, the Campaign to Invest in America’s Workforce (CIAW) sent a letter to congressional leaders urging them to strengthen federal investments in workforce development programs. The coalition emphasized the critical role these investments play in equipping workers with in-demand skills, supporting businesses, and driving economic growth. “Investing in American workers is not just the right thing to do—it’s one of the most cost-effective and impactful investments Congress can make,” the letter states.
