Issues faced by the project - 2 • The growth of social Cooperation can increase in next years. Using the existing opportunities, would be possible, forSocial Cooperatives, if they became able to face complex managerial elements. Anyway, the social enterprises leaders, are not, at present, able to effectively face such challenges, because of a serious lack in managerial skills
Aim - Objectives The project has the following aims: 1) Improvement and empowerment of managerial and entrepreneurial skills of those working in cooperatives; 2) creation of a system for real and advisory services adapted to the peculiarities which characterize social cooperation
The objectives which the project aims to, are not in contrast with the values of cooperation; the achievement of ethical and social aims cannot prescind, indeed, from a constant focus on competition and payment.
