Social Entrepreneurs Invited To Academy And Award Programme
Social entrepreneurs are being invited to take advantage of specialist training, networking opportunities and funding support for their business.
The Social Entrepreneurs Ireland's Academy and Award programmes help entrepreneurs develop their social enterprise idea or business. Applications are now open for both programmes.
Academy for Social Entrepreneurs
Do you have an innovative idea to solve a social problem? Are you ambitious, entrepreneurial, and passionate about social change? This five day programme, over the course of five months, will provide you with the support and direction you need to help you to kick-start your idea and take the next steps.
The Academy, taking place in both Dublin and Galway in 2018, is worth in excess of €5,000 per project. Together with a small group of fellow innovators, you will receive:
• Targeted training to accelerate your knowledge in the key foundational areas of leading a social business, such as solution design, financial management, storytelling, leadership and personal resilience.

• The opportunity to pitch for seed funding as a way to progress your idea to its next stage of development. Those completing the 2018 Academy programme will have the opportunity to pitch for part of a pot of €20,000.
