At the heart of systems change lies the trajectory of financial resources within the system. Regrettably, many highly impactful nonprofits often don’t receive the funding they need. In 2022, SkillWorks took a proactive step by inaugurating the SkillWorks Fellowship: Solution & Design Lab for Workforce Innovation. Its mission? To revolutionize the flow of funds towards these nonprofits. Join us to delve into how the Fellowship empowered successful workforce leaders, elevating them into system experts through specialized training. We’ll explore how they were equipped to think and communicate like seasoned venture entrepreneurs. This session offers insights gleaned from our experiences and invites a dialogue on reshaping funding mechanisms to bolster the workforce sector we aspire to uplift.
