SCP works with entrepreneurs to help them grow their businesses and make positive contributions to their communities. In doing so, SCP has created job opportunities for people who have experienced barriers to employment, but are now motivated, trained and ready to work.
Investors get the ball rolling
The process begins when an investor, such as Social Capital Partners, identifies a business that strives for both social and economic returns, and provides the business with financing, experience and the skills required to establish a social hiring and retention program.
Businesses grow
Equipped with attractive financing and a social hiring and retention program, the business will grow and thrive, and use its success to pursue its social mission even further. This creates a cycle of success not only for the business, but also for employees of that business who can get ahead in their own lives.
People’s lives get moving
When a business establishes a social hiring and retention program – everyone profits. An entrepreneur gets to bring their dreams to life. Job seekers get a leg up overcoming employment challenges. Employees can work to become financially self-sufficient. And an employee’s family can prosper.
A community picks up speed
The success of a socially minded business profits far more than just an entrepreneur or an employee. A community’s economy grows, leading to even greater economic development. That, in turn, profits the business and investments are repaid, which Social Capital Partners then re-invests. And the circle begins anew.
