A VISION & PLAN
FOR A MORE INCLUSIVE FUTURE.

Designed By Us™ is home to the Design Corps.  The Design Corps, a 501c3 non-profit organization, is a one of a kind leadership program. At the Design Corps, our mission is to forge a future where diversity & equity is the bedrock of innovation. We are committed to bridging the gender and minority divides in our global workforce.

Our focus is on cultivating a cultural renaissance that honors Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math, and Design (STEAMD), public service service and life long learning as pillars of progress. Today the Design Corps Network is doing the hardwork of hardwiring gender and ethnic minority parity into the future of work by 2050.

We are doing this by designing & building upskilliing programs, design labs, retreats, bootcamps, workshops and hackathons for K–12 schools, refugee camps, women and ethnic minority groups across the globe. 

Every Design Corps member gets hands on experience developing solutions that address complex ecological, economic, and social challenges across the globe.

 FUTURE OF WORK MANDATE   |   85% OF ALL 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION CAREERS REQUIRE S.T.E.A.M.D.LITERACY & SKILLS

THE STATE OF WORK
World Economic Forum Research on the global labor market segregation along gender lines has revealed that professional segregation of men and women into differentiated sectors contributes not only to lower innovation levels in professions which lack gender and ethnic minority diversity, but also that this professional divergence has a compounding effect on gender pay gaps. Monitoring gender and minority parity in the professions of the future provides a critical opportunity to guide the emerging labor market to more equitable outcomes in the future of work.

THE STATE OF S.T.E.A.M.D.
While many gender parity, inclusion and diversity efforts have focused on the supply side of future-skills for girls and women, there has been few demand side efforts to create incentives for women, girls and ethnic minorities to enroll S.T.E.A.M.D. programs or to connect pathways for women, girls and allies to be hired into the highest-growth roles of the future — particularly those applying S.T.E.A.M.D. skills.

Amist The Great Reset and an Ai Revolution, while labor markets are under going a period of intense structural change, we believe there is a unique opportunity to embed gender parity into the future of work by balancing efforts between the demand side of growing jobs and the supply side of people with future-ready STEAMD skills.

THE DESIGN CORPS: UNITING SUPPLY TO DEMAND
Designed By Us established The Design Corps formation
with a charter to:

1. Inspire The Dreams of Women, Girls & ethnic minorities
2. Build Superhuman S.T.E.A.M.D. Skills
3. Illuminate Pathways To High-Growth S.T.E.A.M.D. Careers
4. Sponsor Progress To The Global Workforce
4. Inspire Action Learning while Building Equitable Public Works

By doing this we have committed to hardwiring gender and ethnic minority parity into the future of work.

 

DESTINY DESIGNED,TODAY.
The Design Corps is a S.T.E.A.M.D. network that aims to advance an inclusive, equitable and prosperous destiny for 10 Million women, girls and allies by 2030.

The Design Corps enables people to co-create new visions and public works in three interconnected areas:
1.0 Collaborative economic growth
2.0 Education, skills and work
3.0 Equity and inclusion.

1.0 COLLABORATIVE ECONOMIC GROWTH 
Collaborative growth in the 4th Industrial Revolution economy begins with the adoption and acceleration of an economy that is
restorative and regenerative by design. Partnered with corporations and the public sector the Design Corps produces public works that restore and regenerate paths to social mobility in the 21st Century.

2.0 EDUCATION, SKILLS & WORK: ACTION LEARNING
Action Learning is learning by doing. Design Corps Members pledge to learn to design solutions to real problems in real time. Design Corps members gain S.T.E.A.M.D. super powers to simultaneously solve difficult ecological, economic and social challenges while developing skills with a bias for collective action, frugality and an unrelenting desire to deliver results.

3.0 EQUITY & INCLUSION.
Work with the World Economic Forum Global Future Council we are committed to hardwiring gender and ethnic minority parity in to the future of work by connecting demand for high-growth S.T.E.A.M.D. careers to the supply of talent in Action Learning public works programs and productions.
