Pipeline Entrepreneurs
Expanding the Women-Owned Workforce Pipeline
Expands workforce systems to support nonlinear career pathways where women, including women of color and tribally led enterprises, create jobs and shape workplace practices.
Traditional workforce systems prioritize job placement, yet millions of women pursue nonlinear career pathways through entrepreneurship. This project expands workforce systems to treat self-employment and first-time employers as legitimate workforce outcomes. Led by Pipeline Entrepreneurs in partnership with tribally grounded economic development through Grey Snow Management Solutions, the project documents, strengthens, and scales proven pathways that support women transitioning from employees to job creators, shaping workplace practices while generating jobs, wages, and durable economic participation.
