The School for Social Entrepreneurs Australia
The School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) Australia is excited to announce the launch of its first School in Sydney in 2009. Based on the highly successful SSE program in the UK which has been operating for 10 years, the new Sydney school will provide Australian social entrepreneurs with invaluable learning and skills development opportunities as well as link them into a global community of inspirational social entrepreneurs.
The SSE Australia sees social entrepreneurs as people who recognise social problems and use entrepreneurial principles to organise, create, and manage a venture to effect social change.
The goal of the SSE Australia is to assist social entrepreneurs in transforming their talent and drive into real social outcomes. Its programs will enable social entrepreneurs to establish effective, sustainable community projects and initiatives that meet social and community needs. The school believes that by supporting social entrepreneurs as leaders in their communities, the community itself gains pride and belief in itself and, from that, new leaders are inspired.
The SSE Australia is a new venture that is proudly supported by Social Ventures Australia (SVA), the School for Social Entrepreneurs UK, and Steve Lawrence (a social entrepreneur and Chief Executive of the Australian Social Innovation Exchange).
SVA believes that there is a great need for the SSE in Australia and it is an initiative of which it is proud to be a founding partner.  For more information about the SSE Australia and to download an application form, click here.
