We help the Filipino community develop leaders and social entrepreneurs
The Ateneo Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship (LSE) Training Program wants overseas Filipino workers to view themselves as agents of positive transformation, prepare for financial security upon retirement and / or reintegration in the Philippines, and run businesses that are not only financially sound but also beneficial for the greater good of the community. It's an empowerment program run by the LSE Migration and Development Consortium composed of the Ateneo School of Government (ASoG), the Overseas Filipinos Society for the Promotion of Economic Security (OFSPES), the Social Enterprise Development Partnerships, Inc (SEDPI) and the UGAT Foundation. We collaborate closely with the Philippine Embassy/Consulate-General, and POLO/OWWA. > Learn more →
