Let’s Talk About It!

Along with all the educational content we have coming at you this year, we also want to have a space to connect and hear what you’re up to. At Let’s Talk About It, our new monthly series of virtual, members-only chats, we’ll be providing space to hear what you’re up to and learn about what Catalyst has been working on. However, we can’t avoid the opportunity to bring you a little bit of educational content! San Diego Workforce Partnership will be joining the latter half of the call to share more about the work they do on outcomes-focused funding.

For those of you with a keen interest in economic development, impact investing, workforce issues, or the overall well-being of our region, this session is for you.

San Diego Workforce Partnership will share information and updates on their outcomes-based loan offerings, followed by a short Q&A.
