SXSW 2022

Corporate Philanthropy, Equity & Economic Mobility

Description:

In the wake of dual upheavals-- a pandemic and a racial reckoning-- companies have sought ways to support diverse, inclusive pathways to employment. Corporate philanthropy is often at the forefront of this work, and broadening the talent pipeline requires investments at multiple points within the education to employment ecosystem, especially in industries such as tech. How are major corporate funders approaching this challenge? How are they using these talent pipelines to support economic mobility? And what are the new mechanisms for demonstrating impact?
