Description
After completing the foundation year in the Social Innovation and Community Development program, you will have the option of choosing to complete your diploma year in Indigenous Social Entrepreneurship.
Courses within this program are experiential, project-based, and modular. Many are scheduled sequentially; participants ladder their knowledge of the different dimensions of social entrepreneurship towards the ultimate goal of establishing an enterprise of your own or joining a social enterprise with knowledge of every aspect of the business. You will develop a product or service addressing a specific market and social opportunity and build the organizational infrastructure needed to launch that enterprise.
High participation levels in coursework are an important element of academic success. This program also engages significant online learning to facilitate flexibility and creativity.
