A job is far more than a paycheck—it creates purpose, stability, and opportunity, strengthening families, communities and entire economies. Jobs-focused social enterprises (or Work Integration Social Enterprises) play a vital role in making this happen, creating pathways for people who might otherwise be locked out of work. We know the impact we can have. But we also know how tough it can be to shift systems and drive lasting change.
Right now, momentum is building. Government, philanthropy, and corporate partners see the value of jobs-focused social enterprises and want to understand how to better support them. There’s also a hunger from the sector to come together, plan, act, and learn as a collective. So let’s do it.
Join us as we seize the moment and come together face-to-face—to build common ground, share real-world insights and amplify our collective voice. Together, we can shape a future where everyone has access to meaningful employment.
