GEUC4012 Social Enterprise and Innovation: Internship

This is an advanced experiential-learning course that will give students an opportunity to work directly for social enterprises under the guidance of their supervisors and professional mentors. Students would have opportunities to experience how the social enterprises help the underprivileged groups and gain hands-on business experience, which will strengthen their soft skills, help them implement the innovative business and promotional ideas in a practical way, and will greatly improve their understanding on the societal needs of the community, and the sustainable development directions and modes.

This course is designed to immerse students in the world of social enterprise. This course enables students to further develop career and apply leadership-ready skills in the operation of a social enterprise or social business. Students are encouraged to provide ideas to promote the designated social enterprise among the youth community, and they will also have an opportunity to undertake an internship in a real social enterprise setting.
