This gathering is for people who are interested in entering the field of worker cooperative development. Worker cooperative development can create quality jobs and contribute to a more equitable economy. But what does it look like in practice, and how can it be done most effectively? Hosted by the Democracy at Work Institute, this workshop will use participatory methods to draw out the desired impacts of cooperative development projects, and emphasize alignment with best practices and principles of cooperative development. We will cover the skills and resources needed, the implications of different models, and metrics to collect to understand long-term success. Interested in developing worker-owned businesses as part of a community-based organization or economic development program? Spend the morning with us!
