Overview:
Social enterprise is not just an entity, or a “thing” – social enterprise is a verb! This webinar series will explore how social enterprise can be used as a tool by career practitioners and employment agencies to create social value through employment opportunities that contribute to healthy communities.
Take a journey across social enterprise examples of how they sell a full range of goods and services in the marketplace, how they achieve a spectrum of social, cultural or environmental purpose, and why they reinvest most of their profits into their social mission.
