N2 - The exponential intensification of international migration has led to amplified return flows back to countries of origin, presenting challenges for sustainable reintegration. From this perspective, social entrepreneurship initiatives supporting returnee empowerment offer promising yet understudied solutions to the challenges of sustainable reintegration. When designed holistically, such initiatives have the potential to generate multidimensional public value across political, economic, and educational domains, facilitating impactful and inclusive reintegration processes. We explore Indonesia’s Kampung Korea Program, which leverages social entrepreneurship to empower returning migrant workers through tailored training and collaborative support services. Our qualitative exploration, involving perspectives of migrant returnees and embassy officials, elicits in-depth insights into the role of the program in enabling capacity building, network expansion, and access to opportunities, emphasizing the public value creation that capacitates individuals to drive positive change. We enrich the academic discourse on integrating social entrepreneurship and public value creation in reintegration contexts, enabling meaningful initiatives that empower returning migrants within complex global migration dynamics and promote inclusive, equitable societies.
