Cascais, 10-12 June 2011, for young university students and recent graduates

The partnership between IES and INSEAD is part of our strategy for 2011. Within that partnership and as part of the strategy, IES will promote training courses, taught in Portuguese, for executives of excellence. This is how IES will consolidate its work, share good practices and provide social entrepreneurs within the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP) with the necessary knowledge and tools to boost their initiatives and social impact.
The aim with the IES Training Programmes Powered by INSEAD is to enhance INSEAD’s competences in terms of education and training on management so that this business school can develop and provide the best executive training in the world to social entrepreneurs.
IES has access to the cutting edge knowledge promoted at INSEAD’s Social Entrepreneurship Center and, benefitting from that, IES will adapt some of their widely successful programmes to the Portuguese context. Furthermore, IES will produce and include some of CPLP’s successful cases, which will then be shared within INSEAD’s network, showing the world some of the best Portugal has to offer.
These training courses are for social entrepreneurship executives – entrepreneurs, investors, third sector managers or researchers, namely social entrepreneurs with initiatives that have already been implemented or will be soon. These courses will boost projects, through the IES Boot Camp Programme, and improve confidence, competences and the network of entrepreneurs so that they can deal better with the challenges brought about by growth and management, with the International Student Exchange Programme (ISEP).

Registrations are now open for the 1st Boot Camp. To pre-register to any other Programmes, go to our Homepage. For more information, please send us an e-mail to [email protected].
