Since 2004 the Social Enterprise Academy, which is based in Edinburgh, Scotland, has been providing services in leadership and the social entrepreneurship world.
This is part of a larger initiative of organizations, people and institutions that are working to spread the message of mixing business with social good, but also a way to formalize it and teach it so that it can benefit from educational innovation at-large. The benefits are there and this social enterprise proves it through impact measurement of its work.
Social Enterprise Academy also offers client-specific courses and programs for organizations that wish to tailor learning a bit more to their needs. But beyond the private sector, schools can also benefit from this work as, each year, the team holds an awards ceremony for students.
