TiE Social Entrepreneurship Program
Lead social change through Entrepreneurship
The objective of the program is to inspire and enable aspiring participants to
ideate, learn, conceive, design, develop and implement entrepreneurial initiatives
with innovative solutions for impacting positive social change.
TiE is committed to developing a holistic, value-centered cutting edge social
entrepreneurship program through highly relevant, interactive and immersive
education, which is entrepreneurial in spirit, social in focus, and global in
orientation. The program will provide the aspiring participants the opportunity for
1
education, actionable skills building, and mentoring and real social
entrepreneurship experience required to convert vision into reality. The TSEP will
train youth to leverage entrepreneurial skills to yield desired social change
addressing important, and meaningful social issues.
World class faculty including seasoned entrepreneurs, educators and professional
service providers drawn from global TiE ecosystem will teach, motivate and
mentor the participants. In addition to interactive lectures and workshops, the
program will run experiential “boot camps”. The boot camps will provide highly
practical training and mentoring with respect to all elements of the start-up
process and the development of tools for yielding and measuring the social utility.
TiE will also help connect select entrepreneur teams with a wide variety of
sources of funding that can fuel and accelerate the development of their
enterprises.
Enrolment for the program begins in June 2014; the sessions, workshops and
“boot camps” will run from September 2014 to April 2015. The program will
consist of at least 100 hours of content delivered in the following three modules:
engaging over 200 participants.
The program will help to educate youth, women and immigrants about all aspects
of social entrepreneurship and also provide guidance and training in connection
with the implementation of their social enterprise and the development of
effective matrix for measurement of social utility and impact.
Youth from Across Ontario
 TSEP will focus on Ontario's aspirants in the age group of 20-29, women
and immigrants. These will be both post-secondary students and graduates.
We strive to improve the odds of entrepreneurial success for Ontario's
youth passionate about social change.

All sessions except the boot camps will be offered as simultaneous webcast
accessible anywhere in the world. The webcast will also be available to
community colleges to integrate in their curriculum. This will also enable
2
Ontarians in remote area to participate in the program using a standard
internet connection.

The videos and presentation for the sessions will be available on the
website for continuous accessibility.

Some of the special sessions will be exclusively on webinars and video
conferencing. This will help us engage experts from far away locations.
Differentiators of TiEsep
The program addresses the needs of Ontario's aspiring social entrepreneurs in
general and in particular youth in the age group of 20-29, women and new
immigrants. This target population is typically highly aspirational, socially aware,
intensely motivated, and ambitious. These young entrepreneurs will benefit from
the practical training required to successfully launch enterprises capable of
yielding meaningful positive social change.
There is relatively limited comprehensive hands-on training for entrepreneurs
interested in setting up social enterprise The program will address this gap by
teaching participants practical entrepreneurial and business start-up skills with
the parallel intent of channelling their ambitions for social change and
improvement. Key values of tolerance, inclusion, compassion, empathy and
teamwork will be reinforced together with the delivery of hard skills training
needed to develop innovative and sustainable enterprises that yield significant
social utility.
The program intends to emulate the contemporary best practices and
programming features developed by recognized thought-leading
entrepreneurship training institutions such as the Lean Launch Pad programs run
by Steven Bank at Stanford, Columbia and Berkley and engage faculty trained for
such programs. TSEP will be offered in 3 modules providing exposure, exploration
and experiential learning as described below.
