About Us

The American Workforce Coalition (AWC) was launched in January 2022 to build a national movement supporting America’s older workers. We educate employers, workforce practitioners, philanthropic leaders, economic development teams, and the American public on the critical role that older workers play in the success of employers and local communities. We identify the approaches that empower older workers with the skills they need to be successful. And, we convene leaders and innovators to build scalable solutions to the challenges facing older job seekers.

Our member organizations represent the most influential organizations at the intersection of workforce and aging. Together, we bring more than 560 years of experience to our shared mission, including decades of workforce development programs empowering African American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian Pacific & Pacific Islander job seekers.
