Mentoring Support Programme for Directors and Managers of Social Enterprises

This initiative to provide mentoring support to Directors and Managers of Social Enterprises has been devised and developed in support of the Department of Justice and Equality social enterprise strategy, ‘A New Way Forward’. The Innovation Academy in University College Dublin have assisted in drawing up and developing the programme. The experienced and qualified mentors have been selected from the members of Rotary International in Ireland.
