Welcome! This is a knowledge mobilization and education platform about social innovation and social entrepreneurship (or intrapreneurship) in the human services. It is founded on an educational initiative that began in 2014, which aims to prepare students for contemporary social welfare leadership.
Beginning in 2014 I've annually taught a week long intensive course at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto on social innovation and social entrepreneurship in the human services to support idea generation, skill development, and an aptitude among young social work (and allied disciplinary) social entrepreneurs and innovators. This website showcases these ideas.
Join us in thinking innovatively and entrepreneurially!
-- Dr. Micheal Shier, Associate Professor, Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto
