Social Economy Drive
The Social Economy Drive is an annual week-long series of events across the region each November. This festival promoting and celebrating the work of the sector, is organised by iSE and supported by WMCA and a range of commercial sponsors.
The highlights of the week are the Social Economy Conference and Expo and the Social Economy Awards evening.
Schools Programme
Career decisions are often made during teenage years or younger. WMCA will embark on a programme aimed at making young people aware of the wide range of career opportunities available in the Social Economy. After all, it currently employs almost 103,000 people and we aim to double that.
Social Economy Directory
We are currently in the process of categorising and classifying 9,314 records of Social Economy organisations to produce an online searchable directory of products, services and social purpose to help public sector commissioners and private sector buyers buy social.
