Why work with Nick?

Nick Beadle is one of America’s top experts on public policy and workforce, with an encyclopedic knowledge of federal funding programs, workforce strategies, and policy-building techniques.

Nick spent 11 years at the U.S. Department of Labor, finishing his time as Chief of Staff for Workforce and Communications for DOL's Good Jobs Initiative, where tracked and oversaw the Department’s full grants portfolio and developed new strategies for improving investment outcomes and making grantees’ work easier and better. He also authored a the Skills-First Starter Kit, a best-in-class guide for employers. This guide drew on the expertise and input of a bipartisan group of expert organizations, including employer groups and labor unions. Earlier in his time at DOL, Nick developed a first-of-its-kind grant model using workforce dollars to battle the opioid crisis, later adapted by Congress in the bipartisan SUPPORT Act relief package to address the substance-use disorder epidemic.
