Through my research, I've identified a number of trends that continue to emerge that support career opportunities for values-driven professionals.
The current administration supports, and is providing funding to, a number of socially-conscious initiatives around such issues as economic development, job growth, healthcare efficiency and accessibility, alternative energy and climate change, and education quality.
The sustainability and social entrepreneurship movements continue to strengthen and grow within the for-profit sector as another channel to address social challenges.
Cross-sector alliances are growing, namely among for-profit and non-profit organizations, to address the growing social challenges facing our nation.
Non-profits need more organizationally savvy “experts” who can help address the demands for increased accountability, enhanced management, and the increased number of cross-sector alliances and partnerships.
Non-profits continue to explore new channels of revenue that supplement traditional fundraising initiatives and funding streams from government and foundation relationships.
Consumers and top talent are demanding that organizations “walk the talk” with regard to their corporate social responsibility initiatives as more than public affairs campaigns.
While retirement plans may have changed for many as a result of the latest economic conditions, there will be still be more opportunities to grow and advance within values-based careers as more leaders and professionals retire from their current roles.
