The School for Social Enterprises in Ireland (SSEI) is the sole organisation in Ireland devoted exclusively to leadership, management and business development programmes and events for the social economy sector.
Founded in 2005, SSEI was formed as a strategic alliance between the University of Ulster and The Flax Trust, designed to promote sustainable community enterprise and economic development in Ireland.
In partnership with The Flax Trust and the Ulster Business School, SSEI delivers the Advanced Diploma in Social Enterprise. This is a one year social enterprise development programme designed specifically for individuals who wish to develop a new social enterprise or those in existing community organisations and charities who are trying to diversify their income streams through business development.
SSEI also delivers customised programmes in partnership with local councils and other support organisations.
