Maggie Clune: Work Integration Social Enterprise for Inclusive Communities

In this episode, Dr Emer Ní Bhrádaigh talks to Maggie Clune, Training and Social Enterprise Manager at PACE, an organisation that supports the integration process of people with criminal convictions back into the community.

Maggie explains how PACE has created a number of work integration social enterprise ventures to give former prisoners the opportunity to gain valuable work experience and to find employment in the community. This conversation also explores Maggie’s move from the private sector to the third sector, talent management at PACE, and how Maggie’s experiences working on social enterprise at PACE has inspired her to embark on her PhD research on entrepreneurship and young people in the criminal justice system.
