The document outlines the four stages of development of the Elliott St Social Enterprise Partnership. Stage 1 involved brokering a partnership to establish an alternative education program. Stage 2 built on this by creating real-life learning opportunities through a coffee cart program. Stage 3 formalized these opportunities into a social enterprise apprenticeship program. Stage 4 developed this into a sustainable community social enterprise to provide ongoing learning opportunities.
