Introduction

The purpose of the program is to provide opportunities with young people who wish to work as social entrepreneurs and contribute to solving sustainable social issues through business and NPOs, or who want to work for social development in partnership with the private sector at international organizations and other aid organizations, to gain the knowledge, ideas, and connections necessary to take real action.

In addition to on-campus lectures, this practical program incorporates a trial business plan that simulates actual activities as a social entrepreneur through field study in developing countries or rural areas of Japan.

Social entrepreneurship, running one’s businesses, is a common career aspiration. Many students also aim to play roles in international development/cooperation projects with organizations like the United Nations and JICA. This is why ISEP allows students to earn an International Organization Professional Focus certificate alongside their MSE degree.
