Our courses
We run a variety of courses aimed at social entrepreneurs with varying levels of experience, from those who have just had an initial idea for a social enterprise, to those who are looking at expanding and replicating their project. We also have courses aimed at people working in an organisation that may be looking to convert to a social enterprise:
Start Up
Have you got an idea for a project with a social mission? Do you want to run a business which benefits your community? Our 9 month Start Up course (run over 17 contact days) offers you the training and know-how to make it a reality and to get your social enterprise off the ground.
One Day Workshops
New for 2012, we are offering a series of one-day workshops focusing on Presentation Skills, Marketing, People and Culture and Social Franchising. These workshops are open to all so book a place and come along!
Trading for Sustainability
Trading for Sustainability is a 3 month course (over 8 days) aimed at social enterprises and charities who are looking to develop new income streams through retail or trading. The course is particularly relevant in the current economic climate, in which many charitable organisations face an uncertain long-term future.
Leadership Development (with YSC)
The SSE and YSC are working in collaboration to deliver a unique, intensive two day course specifically designed to develop the leadership skills of social entrepreneurs.
Lloyds Banking Group Social Entrepreneurs programme
The School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) and Lloyds Banking Group have joined forces to launch a pioneering new programme. Over the next five years, the Lloyds Banking Group Social Entrepreneurs programme will support 500 social entrepreneurs across the UK, as they start-up and grow social and community enterprises.
