Work Integration Social Enterprises - Insights from Practitioners

About this webinar

Over the past 12 months, STREAT has convened an online, nation-wide peer learning community for practitioners in Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs). Through regular meetings, the WISE community of practice offered peer learning and skills development while providing essential doses of connection, motivation, and hope. 

Facilitated by Kate Barrelle, this webinar will share insights from a range of WISE practitioners involved in early-stage and established WISEs, in metro and regional areas. The interactive conversation will explore:

• Key learnings from the WISE community of practice.
• Practices that support meaningful peer learning.
• Tensions and challenges in WISE ways of working.
• What feels most important for future WISE‑aligned work and peer learning design.
