Social Entrepreneurship Programme 2016
The African continent is flush with remarkable opportunities and daunting challenges. A creative network of individuals and institutions are finding innovative ways to address these challenges and build exciting futures, full of potential, for our communities. We call these people social entrepreneurs.
The Social Entrepreneurship Programme (SEP) is a middle-management training programme, for people who want to make a difference. Social changemakers can build capacity, grow the social economy and tackle critical socio-economic issues.
Classes have a reputation for passionate debate as theories, experience and the diverse worlds of entrepreneurs, NGOs, business and government meet. This programme is subject to the University of Pretoria's accreditation and processes, but is not yet accredited through SAQA. It is pitched at a National Qualifications Level six.
SECP is divided into four training blocks along the following themes:
I. Creating Change

III. Sustaining Change Operationally
IV. Scaling Change
