Not the Usual Suspects: How Unique Collaboration Feeds Innovation in Workforce Development
Launched in 2022 with philanthropic gifts of $8 million-plus, IU Health’s Mosaic Center for Work, Life, and Learning offers a “mosaic” of individualized and intensive services to help individuals chart pathways to meaningful careers. This innovative approach to healthcare workforce development required going beyond the usual community partners to identify collaborators who contributed different specialties and attracted a diverse pool of funders. Learn how this work involved IU Health Foundation’s grants team and community partners focused on housing, financial literacy, education, substance abuse recovery and more, plus IU Health departments including Human Resources and Government Affairs. This session will focus on best practices in complex collaboration, with recorded testimonials from partners in Government Affairs, Workforce Development and Training, and the Director of the Mosaic Center.
