Better Careers Design Group: Using Human-Centered Design to Advance Equitable Economic Outcomes in California
How can community stakeholders use human-centered design principles to create meaningful and real job opportunities for the most vulnerable people in their communities?
Everyone should have the opportunity to have a job or career that they love and that pays them a wage that helps them support their families. But today, there are millions of Californians who don’t have access to these kinds of job opportunities because government officials and employers have created and maintained barriers based on what we look like, where we live, or what mistakes we may have made in the past. Fortunately, many government social service agencies and nonprofit providers in the state are working hard to remove these barriers and connect people to job opportunities, but are still struggling to break down silos and build efficient systems that will help people find the jobs and careers of their dreams.
