Key Learning Objectives:
- Learn what a social enterprise is
- Discuss the characteristics of a successful enterprise
- Identify and evaluate strengths through an organizational audit and how to translate those strengths into social enterprise opportunities
- Engage in a process to evaluate the identified opportunities in an effort to determine which should be studied in more detail through a feasibility assessment
