BEYOND NONPROFITS: MAPPING THE LANDSCAPE OF SOCIAL IMPACT CAREERS
It can sometimes feel like you have to make a choice: find a fulfilling job aligned with your values that helps make the world a better place, or a job that sucks your soul but pays the bills.
But with an increasing number of companies making a real commitment to deeper social impact, the reality is that there are more ways than ever to get paid well for doing mission-driven work. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore the landscape of different ways to make an impact through your career, from nonprofits to B Corps, identify ways to break into the impact space, look at how to align your skills with the roles available, and identify how to assess whether an organization really cares – or if it’s just a marketing ploy.

Get clear on the variety of roles in the impact jobs space and what skills are in-demand
Learn how to enter (or transition into) the impact sector
Understand some of the current trends in the social impact space and how they’re affecting the job market
