The workforce strategy identifies non-profit human resource issues as requiring explicit action strategies aimed at informing, attracting, developing and retaining a workforce within the nonprofit sector. The symposium is intended to bring together researchers and non-profit practitioners to build on common interests and share implementation strategies.

Participants and panelists will share tools for best practices aimed at attracting, retaining and developing an informed and prepared workforce within the Social Economy.
