Alternative financing models could reshape how workforce development gets funded, but implementing them well requires navigating trade-offs in structure, risk, and measurement. Leaders considering these approaches often have more questions than answers about how to structure agreements, define success, and manage risk across partners. This roundtable will unpack how these financing approaches work in practice, where they’ve delivered results, and what leaders should weigh before adopting them. It’s a chance to learn directly from peers who are testing these models and to sharpen your own strategy for funding workforce initiatives that last.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
