The new, mobile-friendly Social Entrepreneurship course from HP LIFE uses the real story of Nawal Allaoui—chief executive officer and founder of SeaSkin in Morocco—to teach learners what a social enterprise is, how it differs from traditional businesses, and how to set one up successfully. Nawal was one of the 2019 winners of BechangeMaker, a virtual social entrepreneurship training program created by WorldSkills International and the HP Foundation.

Course Overview
Social Entrepreneurship teaches learners the skills needed to build a sustainable, impact-driven business to solve a problem in their community.
As they progress through the course, learners discover what the key principles of a social enterprise are, how to use stakeholder analysis and empathy mapping to ensure their business meets a social need, and learn effective ways to measure their company’s impact. A series of interactive exercises complete the course, giving learners the opportunity to practice their new skills as they help Nawal develop a logic model for her business.
Learners who enroll in Social Entrepreneurship will find out how to:
- Assess whether an idea for a social enterprise is sustainable and can create positive social impact
- Avoid common mistakes when setting up a social enterprise
- Use entrepreneurial tools to better understand your audience and the challenges they face
