What should education really teach to better prepare individuals for a career in the social innovation sector?

ESIC’s Skills Monitor  provides answers to what education should really teach to better prepare individuals for a career in the social innovation sector. As one of the first tools driven by quantitative data, the skills monitor maps 35 key social innovation competencies, grounded in real-world insights of students, educators, and practitioners.

Social innovators are critical to building a sustainable future, but they often lack the practical skills to turn ideas into impact. Additionally, research on the skills needed in this field is scarce. The Skills Monitor addresses these gaps.

Which competencies matter most today? How will they evolve in the future? Explore the interactive Skills Monitor Dashboard and discover the answers.
