Program areas at The Workers Lab
Design Sprint - In 2022 and 2023, The Workers Lab is running a design sprint to explore how flexible work can be quality work. All work, whether it is standard employment or gig and contract work, should allow workers flexibility without sacrificing quality. We aim to invest over 1 million to demonstrate how to make this possible.
Learning Hub Our Learning Hub is a tool that helps make sense of everything were learning from our investments. It is meant to inform future investments and to engage anyone and everyone interested in what it means to give new ideas that increase power for workers a chance to succeed and flourish. The Learning Hub will curate and house our learning, offer resources and mentorship, and showcase innovators that are giving life to the most promising ideas aimed at increasing power for workers.
Innovation Fund - The Innovation Fund is our signature program and primary way we source and fund experiments. It is a national prize competition that we host up to three times a year. Winners include entrepreneurs, worker organizers, non-profit leaders, and/or public sector leaders that receive up to 150,000 to test new ideas about work and workers.
