Charity and Social Enterprise Management university course to repeat
Howard Lake | 20 April 2011 | News
Having filled available places on its first run, Anglia Ruskin University’s new course to help charities and social enterprises respond to current challenges will run again in September.
Thirty two students began studying the Certificate of Higher Education in Charity and Social Enterprise Management in Cambridge at the end of March, including professionals from the British Red Cross, Suffolk and Essex County Councils, Mid-Norfolk Mencap and the WRVS.
The course runs for two years, with eight workshops a year on campus and the rest delivered via the Virtual Learning Environment. Students undertake a series of assignments and presentations for the purposes of assessment, all designed with a strong practical focus so that they can apply what they learn to their own organisations. The course is being run by 3rd Sector Futures, a specialist unit within Anglia Ruskin’s Ashcroft International Business School, in conjunction with Higher Skills@Work. The course combines work-based study and reflection with taught sessions on campus.
Jan Coatham, Senior Service Manager at the British Red Cross, said: “Knowledge gained from this course will enable the British Red Cross to generate their own funding through social enterprises, meaning we can take on projects that wouldn’t normally attract funds.”
The September course will be run in Chelmsford.
