Yes, and it is a career change move. A volunteer manager already covers 19% of what a social entrepreneur is expected to do: 8 skills carry over, 5 of which the social entrepreneur role treats as required.

21 required skills are missing, plus 16 optional ones. They fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, led by business, administration and law. The single most important is deliver a sales pitch.

Its learning distance is 82 out of 100, which is the career change band. That accounts for both how much is missing and how specialised those skills are.
