The SI-DRIVE partner Bertha Centre has two exciting new Executive Education short courses

Leading Social Entrepreneurship is a brand new Executive Education short course at UCT’s Graduate School of Business that gives leaders of social enterprises exposure to the most recent developments in the field. Social entrepreneurship is heading into a new era, with social entrepreneurs, funders, and policymakers looking at scale and impact in new ways, focusing efforts beyond technical fixes and seeking to transform sectors, systems and societies at large. In this course, nonprofit leaders and those operating in the social enterprise space will be given tools to strategically grow the impact of their organisations and businesses, while also exploring models to positively influence the systems within which they operate.

The Impact Investing in Africa, Executive Education short course is an interactive three and a half day investment training opportunity, which offers a rich learning experience blending theory and practice. This course is for finance professionals, funders, lawyers, intermediaries and consultants who are interested in understanding this growing field and how they can and should position themselves within it. Delegates will be given tools to develop impact investing strategies, analyse opportunities and be equipped to engage with clients to integrate impact investing into their portfolios. The teaching case study content on this course has been created in partnership with the Said Business School. You can watch the course introductory video here.

Both courses are convened by the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship, for more information please visit: http://www.gsb.uct.ac.za/berthacentre
