Without entrepreneurial education a country’s financial future is in jeopardy and without social entrepreneurs our world would be a darker place.

Australia’s next generation have just been offered the key to a brighter future.

Social entrepreneurs are people who recognise social problems and use entrepreneur skills to organise, create, and manage a venture to affect social change. Their creative vision is channelled into making the world a better place.

The School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) Australia is a new non-profit venture based on the highly successful SSE in the UK which has been operating for 10 years. Their impressive team of trainers and support, including Social Ventures Australia, the SSE UK, and Steve Lawrence (a social entrepreneur and Chief Executive of the Australian Social Innovation Exchange) are all dedicated to entrepreneurial education. They specialise in identifying, developing and supporting social entrepreneurs and raising awareness and understanding of social entrepreneurship.

So now, year-long programs to support entrepreneurial education aimed at establishing effective, sustainable community projects and initiatives that meet social and community needs are available and the world will be changing for the better starting right here in Australia.
