An educational program for leaders of successful social enterprises was launched on August 15.
According to the decision of the operational headquarters in the region, it is allowed to conduct advanced training and professional retraining courses in the traditional format. However, when organizing training, it is necessary to take into account sanitary requirements and keep in mind some restrictions. The CISS Coaching School received 20 applications, but the group will include only 10 people from among social entrepreneurs with active organizations and successful project implementation experience. The 144-hour educational program will be conducted over three sessions of three days each. Upon completion, students will receive certificates of the established standard and the right to teach to citizens who want to start their own business.
Specialists from the Center for Social Innovation point out that in difficult times, people strive to acquire new competencies and try to rebuild their businesses in accordance with the demands of society.
"Many former graduates of the School of Social Entrepreneurship and heads of sustainable organizations belonging to the cluster of social innovations teach here. They find like-minded people among the students, share their experience with them, help with the implementation of startups, and organize internships for them. To keep up with the times and be successful, you need to constantly learn," says Irina Serbina, head of the CISS.
The Social Entrepreneurship coach training program has been operating in Omsk since 2012. During the classes, participants gain skills in working with businesses, interacting with social infrastructure, government authorities and the media. Representatives from other regions of the country and the Republic of Kazakhstan came to Omsk CISS to study. Omsk residents also conduct field courses, during which specialists were trained in the Irkutsk and Kemerovo regions, Altai, Krasnoyarsk and Krasnodar Territories, in the republics of Tatarstan, Altai and Buryatia, in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. Many of the graduates of the School of Trainers have created infrastructure organizations to support social businesses and NGOs in the image and likeness of the Omsk CIS. Omsk methods of training social entrepreneurs are used in 22 regions of the Federation.
