Co-created model of social innovation that promotes social impact in Vocational Training Institutions

Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (HEI) have a fundamental role in generating positive social impact in the communities to which they belong. However, it is necessary to restructure the perspectives with which they are working, evolving from a rigid and welfare model, to a collaborative and co-creation one. This paper aims to explore from theory and practice, how an Institutional model of social innovation can be designed involving stakeholders in the process. This will make it possible to realize that the incorporation of cocreation as a central element in the construction of a model is beneficial for the communities and generates greater and better results within society.
