What EY can do for you
Do you lead an impact enterprise or nonprofit facing growth or operational challenges?
Are you looking for an effective way to upskill yourself and your team?
Focused on common topics of interest and barriers to growth, Skills Labs are interactive and accessible workshops lasting 1.5- to 3-hours, facilitated by experienced EY professionals, either virtually or in person.
Skills Labs are designed to bring together groups of impact organizations, offering a combination of practical training, peer discussion and coaching. This creates an engaging learning environment to upskill impact leaders and their teams on core capabilities needed to sustainably grow their organizations.
EY Ripples, our global Corporate Responsibility program, enables EY people to use their distinctive skills, knowledge and experience to bring positive change in pursuit of one shared vision: to positively impact one billion lives. We believe that SDG 17, "Partnership for the Goals," is the key to unlocking all the SDGs, so EY teams collaborate with clients, impact investors and entrepreneurship networks to deliver Skills Labs to the impact organizations they support. Together, we can drive sustainable outcomes that no one organization could achieve alone.
Working with EY teams globally to deliver Skills Labs for our members has been a great experience. Their support helps social entrepreneurs build essential capabilities, enabling them to increase their impact and navigate challenges more effectively.

In addition to Microsoft’s support, we value EY’s complimentary resources that help these impact startups and scaleups build capacity and drive sustainable growth."
"The Data Skills Lab workshop session was very enriching and gave me a comprehensive overview of data, the challenges involved in developing and implementing a data-driven strategy, and the impact on the management of our companies. I particularly appreciated the quality of the speaker and the discussions that followed.”
