SSE London: Fellowship Start Up course
What is it?
A 9 month course of action learning tailored to individuals wanting to start a social enterprise or charity. This course is built on learning by doing, emphasising experience, experimentation and personal needs.
If you have an idea for a project that will positively benefit your community & beyond and you need help setting it up, the Fellowship course is for you!
The course is centred entirely around the development of both you and your project and will include learning about:
Setting up and funding your project as a social enterprise.
How to improve your working methods.
How to communicate your work effectively to others.
How to develop skills and knowledge to increase your confidence as the leader of your social enterprise.
Who is the course for?
Anyone and everyone with a great idea for starting a social enterprise or organisation that will make a positive difference in their community or beyond!
There are no specific entry requirements, qualifications or written application forms required and once you have registered your interest you will be invited to the office for an introduction session. At this session you will learn more about the Fellowship Course and we will learn more about you and your project. Here we will also be looking for people with the enthusiasm, drive and commitment necessary to get your project off the ground and the ability to explain the positive social impact that your project will have.
Examples of social entreprise projects have been: community gardens, mentoring & education schemes, ethical businesses training & employing marginalied communities, support groups etc. Please visit our Case Studies for many more....
What does it involve?
The Fellowship Course runs over a 9 month period, with 20 total contact days. The emphasis is placed on 'learning by doing' - taking the skills that you learn on the Fellowship Course and putting them into use within your social enterprise.
The course can be demanding, but we know it works - in an independent evaluation, 97% of students said they would recommend the SSE approach, and many found it a transforming experience. The course is made up of 4 elements that will help you develop both your project and yourself:
Expert witness sessions
Action Learning Teams
Project visits
Mentoring sessions
See what makes our courses different.
We aim for you to take an active part in your learning and the effort you make determines to a large extent what you achieve over the year.
