    Social Return on Investment Analysis: A Case Study of a Job and Skills Training Program Offered by a Social Enterprise
    (Wiley, 2015-11) Walk, Marlene; Greenspan, Itay; Crossle, Honey; Handy, Femida; School of Public and Environmental Affairs
    This article uses a social return on investment (SROI) methodology to analyze the social impact of a social enterprise offering a job and skills training program to an unemployed, largely female population. The social enterprise is based in Toronto (Canada) and run by a nonprofit agency dedicated to the advancement and empowerment of women, primarily immigrants, through access to employment. We focus our analysis on a job and skills training program that provides clients with the skills and tools that they need to successfully seek employment in their efforts to (re-)enter the Canadian labor market. Our goal is to determine the tangible and intangible program outcomes by applying and testing the SROI methodology.
