SEEnet EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
SEEnet offers a series of on-demand presentations that can be customized to fit your needs. Whether it’s a presentation focused on discovering the social economy, one on how to develop a social-economy component for an existing organization, or one on cooperative business practices, we can work with you to meet your needs.
We also can help with industry-specific knowledge building or assistance in making connections with existing actors in a sector. We can lead site visits to social economy enterprises, and we have a resource library to help you learn more about the social economy.
PROJECT SUPPORT
Along with our partners at the Coopérative de développement régional du Québec (CDRQ), we offer full support at each stage of a project’s development. Each project is different, but SEEnet will generally lead the early stages of the project, and the CDRQ usually comes on board once the first draft of the business plan is being created.
ASSISTANCE CONNECTING TO QUÉBEC'S SOCIAL ECONOMY ECOSYSTEM
Would you like to get involved with Québec’s thriving social economy ecocsytem? We can help. We are happy to make connections with regional social economy offices to help you access additional knowledge about local support, financing, and initiatives. If you are looking for educational programs for students (primary through university students), the Conseil québécois de la coopération et de la mutualité (CQCM) can help provide knowledge and guidance about developing cooperatives. We can also offer translation from French when it’s needed for social economy-related events, workshops, and materials. For these and other needs, we’ll help you connect to the excellent resources available in Québec’s social economy ecosystem.
SOCIAL ECONOMY MENTORSHIP–INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Get matched with an experienced social economy mentor, receive financial support, and benefit from a network of like-minded individuals through our SEMI program. Participants can apply to pursue their own project or to be placed as an intern with an active social economy project.
