It is not time which needs to be managed; it is ourselves.
Social Enterprise
The Skills Centre believes in equity for all people and in that belief we feel businesses can achieve their bottom lines while doing good things for their employees, for our social economy, and for our environment.
Social enterprises are revenue-generating businesses with a twist. For non-profit organizations, this social enterprise initiative has two goals:
- to achieve social, cultural, community economic or environmental outcomes; and,
- to earn revenue.
On the surface, many social enterprises look, feel, and even operate like traditional businesses. But looking more deeply, one discovers the defining characteristics of the social enterprise: mission is at the centre of business, with income generation playing an important supporting role.
