DESIGNING WITH PARTICIPANTS 

​The Problem: 
JPro, a professional organization in the Jewish nonprofit sector, wanted to include future participants in the design of a future professional development program. They were specifically interested in elevating voices that aren’t often included in the program design process.

Our Solution: 
Gold Learning Solutions worked with JPro's leadership and other consultants on the project team to engage early career professionals themselves, as well as organizations that employ those early career professionals, in the design process for a professional development program. 

​​​The Deliverables:

• Online action research facilitation to engage funders, field experts, and early career professionals in collaboratively identifying the needs of early career professionals
• Two-day in person seminar that supported cross-stakeholder conversations, opportunities to identify strengths and challenges of current and past programs, and the opportunity to dream of something different while letting go of what didn’t work
• Recommendations for the grant implementing organization to create a pilot program that could be quickly scaled
