MDC’s InterAmerican campus is offering some exciting new classes aimed at individuals interested in the trend toward green and socially responsible businesses (social entrepreneurship) and lifestyles.
According to a 2011 article published in Fast Company, “Three decades of evidence suggest that socially responsible businesses get greater equity returns, asset returns, and profitability.” Green and socially responsible businesses also have a positive impact on this planet.
We offer core, foundational classes as well as classes specific to particular fields.
Be part of Miami’s renaissance – and find out what you need to know to get started with The Social Entrepreneurship Academy (SEA).
