The Society for Entrepreneurial Education and Development (S.E.E.D) Information

S.E.E.D is based on six pillars: • Access for All: The provision of advice, training, mentoring, events, facilities, workspace, and networking to the beneficiaries; • Skills First: The provision of advice, mentoring and learning materials delivered online to everyone, globally, that support its focus areas within STEAM +ME: o Science; o Technology o Engineering o Arts o Mathematics Plus o Mentoring o Entrepreneurship • Paying It Forward: The beneficiary of a good deed repays it to others, instead of to the original benefactor. Hence, a Mentor ‘pays it forward’ to an Entrepreneur; in turn, Entrepreneurs ‘pay it forward’ in the form of job creation, Mentorship and other assistance to the beneficiaries; • Innovation: The translation of an idea or invention into a product or service that creates value to society and/or for which customers will pay; • Lean Startup: The Lean Startup method teaches how to establish a Startup, using the same principled approach we will teach the beneficiaries self-development (how to steer, when to turn, and when to persevere) and create a generation that develops their digital and entrepreneurial skills with maximum acceleration. Not only will they be better positioned to gain employment, but also engage in the employer’s business itself and thrive. In time they should be able to start their own business and employ others using the same methodology and philosophy; • Introspection: The translation of an ability, hobby, interest or skill into clearly measurable skills (capability) that customers will pay for (employment or entrepreneurship). The principle activates of S.E.E.D. are designed to support, enable and empower people through learning and mentoring, to give them the opportunity to acquire new skills and experience. • Digital Skills • Coding/Computing Schools & Clubs • Employability • Entrepreneurship
