ARTS 2301 - Social Enterprise Internship II

The internship enables students to further develop and apply career and leadership-ready skills in the design of a concept and business plan for a new social enterprise or social business. It gives students a unique opportunity to learn more about social enterprise in Australia while applying their skills and knowledge to developing solutions to real-world social and business issues. The internship combines lectures and weekly online seminars facilitated by Australian business leaders representing corporate, government and community sectors and gives students an opportunity to develop a wide range of career and leadership-ready skills including business planning, social enterprise in practice, team-work and communication skills; and soft skills such as ethical competency and self-awareness. The number of participating students will be determined by an internal quota and the assessment of a formal application which takes into consideration overall academic merit and demonstrated relevant skills required for the internship. Applications will be called during May-June. Successful applicants will be advised of a place in the internship program by late June.
