Social Enterprise Initiative

Summer Fellowship Program

For Employers


For MBA students, the summer employment provides an important opportunity to apply skills and experience firsthand the rewards and challenges of social enterprise management. For organizations, HBS students bring skills from the MBA program as well as past experience. HBS students share key characteristics and capabilities: exceptional talent, a record of accomplishment, demonstrated leadership potential, cooperative spirit, and a commitment to making a difference. From their experience at HBS, students learn to define problems, exercise judgment, make decisions, communicate effectively, and take responsibility, while focused on devising and implementing action plans.
