The Effects of a Training Program to Encourage Social Entrepreneurship

We use two sequential RCTs to study the impact of a twice-executed six-month intensive training program costing about 12,000 euros per participant to encourage social entrepreneurship among youth. The first year training effort provided no robust treatment effects. Results were used to redesign and improve the training. The second year effort provided treatment effects on venture actions, venture creation, one leadership characteristic, one non-cognitive skill, and on subsequent work experience in startups.

The program is designed to encourage and support young people employment and entrepreneurship, particularly in poorer neighborhoods.
