Are you passionate about a social problem that
you’d like to solve? The Gordon
Institute of Business Science’s Entrepreneurship Development Academy will run
the Social Entrepreneurship Programme (SEP) for the 15th year in 2022. The sought-after
course takes excellence in business innovation thinking and applies it to the
social development space.
Social entrepreneurs drive social innovation and
transformation in various fields including education, health, the creative
arts, the environment, and enterprise development. These changemakers blend
lessons from business with the diversity and complexity of social values, and
in the process pursue opportunities for change. They seek long-term
sustainability, while simultaneously combining the pursuits of purpose and
profit when developing and implementing innovative solutions for collective social
impact.
Over 700 social entrepreneurs have already been
equipped with technical, creative, strategic and management skills, as well as
strategic networks to address various social and economic challenges while
ensuring financial stability.
The SEP is a middle-management training programme, aimed at those who want to align
their efforts to make a difference, measure their impact, and achieve social
change by running social enterprises. The programme will be offered in a
blended format (online and classroom-based), thus making it accessible to a
broader audience.
