Yet\, current talent development systems fail to cultivate the problem-solving and critical skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing work environment. In this session\, we will explore two case studies in which social impact programs bridge the skills gap by leveraging the scale of traditional talent development systems in the face of rapidly accelerating mega-trends.  \nNationSwell\, in collaboration with the International Youth Foundation (IYF)\, invites you to join an informed and dynamic discussion about the biggest talent risks facing employers today\, what future-ready skills truly look like\, and how companies can design workforce strategies that go beyond technical training to develop adaptable\, problem-solving talent. \nThis session is part 1 of a 3-event series called Impact x Talent\, cohosted by NationSwell and the International Youth Foundation. The series is exploring scalable and sustainable workforce development strategies that create shared value for businesses and communities. The ultimate goals of the series are to: \n\nDevelop a playbook of case studies featuring firms that have aligned impact strategies to talent challenges at the firm and sector level; and\nIdentify opportunities for joint action to move the needle on shared workforce challenges.\n\nTo 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. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

And the ongoing childcare crisis in the United States disproportionately affects gig\, hourly\, part-time\, and frontline workers\, who often lack access to employer-sponsored childcare support. \nIn response to this urgent need\, NationSwell has partnered with leading institutions\, including the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the American Family Insurance Dreams Foundation\, to launch the Case for Childcare Collaborative — a collective effort and model to provide resources and solutions to help every employer invest in childcare benefits for all workers. \nJoin us\, alongside leaders from across industries\, for an engaging session on the latest research findings\, our expanded resources\, and actionable solutions for funders and employers. Together we’ll explore ways we can transform childcare from a barrier into a bridge for workforce participation and create a thriving economy for all. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Upcoming Events\n \n \n \n \n \n Check out the Institutional calendar to learn more about upcoming events.

Chief among them\, “What amount of risk is acceptable to funders who invest in programs and initiatives that are under increased scrutiny?” While critical to answer with clarity\, this question often assumes agreement and alignment on what risk is\, and who carries it. Yes\, legal exposure creates risk to an organization. But what of the risks of inaction\, of muting an effective approach\, of accepting the terms of bad faith actors? Risks to the organization clearly need careful consideration when setting strategies and navigating tradeoffs\, but so too do risks to the organization’s staff\, grantees\, and the communities that it ultimately serves. \nIn this virtual leader roundtable\, we’ll explore the most effective ways to engage relevant stakeholders — including general counsels\, boards of directors\, and others — in an expansion of the term “risk”\, one that reframes risk such that it becomes more inclusive and more useful as a concept. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.

Together\, we’ll shed light on some of the most innovative and cut-through approaches to climate resilience and adaptation\, prioritizing a lens that takes into account the disproportionate harm global warming stands to cause already vulnerable and marginalized communities. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n NationSwell’s events and experiences are designed to bring together diverse\, purpose-driven leaders and organizations for learning\, inspiration\, relationship-building\, and societal impact.
