Learning and Development Series
The Learning and Development Series is a part of Step Up Silicon Valley’s effort to deepen dialogue on specific community issues and creating innovative solutions. We seek to engage our network through workshops that feature guest speakers who are experts in their fields. The L&D Series is sponsored by the Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University.
2017 L&D Series
Step Up Silicon Valley is delighted to announce the 2017 Learning and Development Series. This year we are intentionally focusing on Preventing Generational Poverty. Our goal is to use these sessions as a platform for dialogue and action in order to come up with a policy position and/or support an existing policy that prevents generational poverty.
