Work is changing: 50% of people in BC now have to find their own way in the gig economy.
Traditional education is not providing the answers. Groundswell is an alternative business school with a focus on supporting social impact businesses. Taking the Build Program* at Groundswell is not only about developing the hard skills needed to run a business. Social entrepreneurs also need emotional resilience and community, and that is where our team of mentors comes in.
