IPPF’s Social Enterprise Hub launched the Social Enterprise Academy website last year. This website is a virtual knowledge repository and learning platform to support and empower Member Associations in their ongoing or future social enterprise and business planning process.
This custom-developed and free to use social enterprise platform can be accessed from this link, and the registration takes less than a minute.
The below two links provide additional information and can be referred before a user registers onto the site.
We highly recommend for interested users to take a moment to read through these guides before they browse the site.

User Manual – includes an overview of all the features
The SE Hub has recently developed and upgraded the website (refer to the list below) with new content and functions for the benefit of the site users.
A facelift to the login page and a few minor bugs have also been corrected to make the site experience more user-friendly.
If there are any inquiries to the below or colleagues who wish to contribute any content, please contact the SE Hub for support.
What’s new on the site:
- ‘Scenario-Based Learning’ or ‘SBL’ for short – will allow users to share their views, stimulate their social enterprise thinking, test their knowledge, and interact virtually 1 on 1 with the SE Hub in a series of scenarios, trivia, and on current focus areas. Log in and look at the interesting SBLs we have added so far.
- Learning modules dashboard – Able to view personal ‘Learning Dashboard’ which includes complete and incomplete modules, progress to-date, the status of the quizzes undertaken, and a system-generated e-Certificate for successful completion of all the modules. A completion icon can also be viewed against the sub-modules.
