Training
One of the two principal areas of work in the project is around training and professional development. National Occupational Standards for social enterprise support and for social enterprise management are being developed in collaboration with the Small Firms Enterprise Development Initiative (SFEDI). At the moment (August 2004) they are in their third versions, which have just been submitted to the Qualification & Curriculum Authority for approval. These are available to download in Word format.

We are also building up a picture of the market - the training and development needs of social enterprise managers and advisers. To help with this we have devised two questionnaires. Please help us by downloading the one that applies to you, filling it in and then sending it to us.
