As part of the Spark Social Enterprise Project, The Platform, the University of Brighton and Social Innovation Factory have developed an online learning tool to support Social Enterprise start-ups to use innovation to set up and grow. We are recruiting a group of 30 start ups to be the first to pilot this exclusive tool from the 26th June (which is not being officially launched until January 2019) and be connected with your peers to establish a network of mutual support across East and West Sussex.
As part of this opportunity that will take place between June and October you will:
- Attend two workshops to learn about and give feedback on the online course,
- Take part in facilitated action learning sets to seek support from, and to support your peers.
- Work through the online modules in your own time. Modules cover topics such as how to innovate, finance models, marketing and sales, and growing and scaling.
Workshop 1
