Training

Training is key to bringing the social economy into the future. EURICSE draws on its experience and partnerships to create courses that offer some of the most in-depth and up-to-date education in the sector, keeping up with a job market that demands specific theoretical and practical skills, vision and a capacity for innovation.

In addition to the courses below, we design trainings and workshops based on specific interests and needs in collaboration with our members and other partners.

Master GIS

The Master’s Degree in Management of Social Enterprises (Master GIS), which trains ‘future social enterprise managers’, is the longest-running postgraduate course in Italy for training managers in the Third Sector. It is promoted by EURICSE and the University of Trento (Departments of Economics and Management, Sociology and Social Research, and Law). Through a multidisciplinary approach that is constantly updated and based on economics, law and sociology, the Master’s programme explores the innovative potential of social enterprises and offers its students the opportunity to grow professionally in a sector that engages the local community, promotes social cohesion and generates sustainable economic development.

Feel Coop

Feel Coop is an advanced training course organised by EURICSE in partnership with the Department of Sociology and Social Research at the University of Trento, supported by Fondazione Caritro. The initiative is aimed at all students enrolled in bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes at the University, with the aim of introducing participants to the social economy, showing how organisations in the ecosystem can promote sustainable development, social innovation and inclusion, and providing concrete tools for navigating the world of work.

EUROPEAN PROJECTS

The social economy is a rapidly growing phenomenon, and with it European and international interest in training activities focused on the themes of cooperation and social enterprise. Thanks to EURICSE’s experience in the field of training, the Institute actively contributes to the ongoing debate and development of initiatives at various levels. We are involved in many European projects that enrich our training courses, both through the inclusion of innovative and up-to-date content and teaching methods, and through opportunities for comparison and exchange with international networks of enterprises and universities.

ICBEC Consortium

In order to strengthen training on cooperatives worldwide, EURICSE is taking an active role in the recently re-launched International Co-operative Business Education Consortium (ICBEC) and has joined as a full member.
ICBEC serves as a global network from which actors in cooperative business education can better understand each other’s programs and mandates, collaborate where mutually beneficial, avoid overlap where possible, and ensure program relevance to the needs of cooperative and mutual enterprises globally.
We will participate in the activities of the consortium and in the working group as well as serve as the secretariat.
