• Research launch: Understanding the Impact Costs of Work Integration Social Enterprises

  • When
    30 November 2023
  •  
    10:00 AM
  • Location
    Online

  Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) or jobs-focused social enterprises exist to provide employment, or pathways to employment, for people who are disadvantaged in the labour market.

  They play a vital role in creating employment opportunities for people facing complex barriers to work. However, because they prioritise their social purpose, they incur costs that standard businesses do not.

  This research - to understand these WISE ‘Impact Costs’ and provide a framework so that all WISEs can estimate their Impact Costs - is now ready to launch.

  The launch will include a presentation of the research and its findings by the Centre for Social Impact Swinburne, a panel discussion and Q&A.

  The launch will be held online (via Zoom) on the 30 November 2023, at 11.00AM - 12.00PM (AEDT) or 10AM - 11AM (AEST).
