The Impact Lab course (formerly known as the Social Venture Management course) is a 6-credit-bearing experiential learning course that allows students to work directly with social ventures under the guidance of faculty instructors and professional mentors. Students have opportunities to manage teams, solve real-life problems, and gain hands-on business experience.

WORK IN REAL COMPANIES

Students, through the Impact Lab course, can apply to work with one of the many social impact organisations focusing on various social and environmental issues. From waste reduction to youth empowerment or supporting ethnically diverse entrepreneurs, there is something for everyone. Students may work in positions that align with their degree or background but also choose to explore more unconventional paths.

social entrepreneurship

Social entrepreneurship is one of the most exciting business trends in the past several decades. By combining the efficiency of business education with the nobility of helping society, many hope that social ventures will be able to help cure ills suffered by the most vulnerable.

 

The importance of social entrepreneurship is gaining recognition worldwide and is increasingly popular in Hong Kong. The Impact Lab course works with social impact organisations and helps young people to start their own social impact initiatives.
