About this grant
This grant will enable the Sector Skills Academy to conduct a second class, drawing upon the experiences of leading sectoral employment practitioners who have direct knowledge of a wide range of approaches to effecting change that will benefit low-income workers. Through a curriculum based on structured, experiential and group learning, the second group of 24 participants will gain the skills to lead the sector field as it expands in breadth, scope and impact. The academy is a project of the Aspen Institute.
