Social Entrepreneurship

Social Entrepreneurship

Social Entrepreneurship is a process that begins with a social opportunity and is translated into an enterprise.
Social Entrepreneur is a person or a group of people who creates an organisation or initiative engaged in social entrepreneurship. A social entrepreneur can also be called Civic Entrepreneurs or Public Entrepreneurs. An example of a social entrepreneur would be:

James Trevor “Jamie” Oliver

England

Jamie founded “Fifteen” in 2002, an organisation that would take fifteen people with disadvantaged backgrounds or crime records and train them in the arts of cooking. These fifteen people would then be hired into the enterprise

He is a social entrepreneur as he takes disadvantaged people who would find it very difficult to get employed and train and employ them.
