Students enrolled in Social Enterprise (MGMT 305) within the Bachelor of Business Administration -Sustainable Business Practices are gaining access to a robust suite of fully funded, real-world learning advantages.
Sustainable business programs instructor, Becky Pelkonen (2nd from left) and Social Enterprise students explore the UN Sustainable Development Goals as part of MGMT 305, a course strengthened by partnerships with Community Futures East Kootenay, Impact Toolbox, and ETSI-BC. The course blends classroom learning with real-world mentorship, micro-credentials, and paid work-integrated opportunities.
Thanks to partnerships with Community Futures East Kootenay's (CFEK) Innovate for Impact Initiative, Impact Toolbox, ETSI-BC, and the College's Work Integrated Learning Fund, students have access to opportunities which combine social entrepreneurship, mentorship, paid work-integrated learning, a level of support rarely seen within a single business course.
As a result, MGMT 305 students are developing, refining, and pitching their own social enterprise ventures while earning both academic credit and industry-recognized micro-credentials.
