Have you been so busy this year that you may have missed work from FIELD that impacts your microenterprise efforts? We've got it all here. Check out our Top 5 for 2014:





1)
Our Gainful Jobs microsite houses research findings on the quality of jobs at microenterprises. Hear employee stories that give life to six important themes about the value that microbusiness employees derive from their work. 
 

    

2)
We published three learning pieces from our now-completed Asset Building through Credit pilot, in which six microenterprise programs delivered a secured credit card and credit coaching to entrepreneurs seeking to build their credit. Check out the infographic highlighting client outcomes, and the video outlining our work to help pilot sites build a sustainable business model for offering a secured card.   
 

 

3)
We re-launched our client outcomes program as EntrepreneurTracker! The product now allows you to collect data on small business as well as microenterprise outcomes.


    
4)
We graduated our second class of ELM� Fellows - a terrific group of creative, dedicated and passionate emerging leaders. Get an insider perspective on the fellowship experience from Leticia Landa, our fellow from La Cocina in San Francisco.
