Innovating Investment Approaches to Creating Quality Jobs

Submersion

Creating good jobs requires going beyond traditional workforce development to reshape business financial incentives. This session explores how different forms of capital can be intentionally deployed to support business models that prioritize workers while strengthening long-term performance and resilience. Bringing together practitioners from impact investing, philanthropy, and ecosystem-building organizations, we will examine how investment strategies can drive quality job creation as a deliberate outcome of business and financial design, not a hoped-for side effect.
