Scale+Innovate: Employability & training | Environment & conservation

Posted on 20 November 2020 by Christie McAlpine

The School for Social Entrepreneurs has launched Scale+Innovate, a free programme run in partnership with the Postcode Innovation Trust.

Applications are open for established charities or social enterprises working in employability and training or environment and conservation, who are looking to scale their organisation and implement a new initiative to help recover and rebuild from Covid-19.

As well as a £1,000 Booster grant to help you implement a new idea, you will learn about:

  • Leadership and management
  • Functions, systems and process
  • Branding, sales and comms
  • Impact and evaluation
  • Strategy and sustainable business model
  • Building your network of influence

The programme is made up of 10 learning days and additional Action Learning Sets between February and September 2021, focused on helping you scale your organisation.

Applications can be made online via the SSE website and close at 12 noon on 9 December 2020.
