The program’s content is meticulously curated, drawing from first-hand experiences working with social entrepreneurs and changemakers, and is delivered in collaboration with the Professional Impact Network and distinguished thought leaders across the impact landscape. Participants engage in a rich tapestry of learning modules covering topics such as lean startup methodology, personal branding, crafting individual missions, and nurturing emotional intelligence.
The Fellowship offers flexibility, enabling Fellows to curate their learning journey by selecting sessions aligned with their specific goals and interests. Fellows are encouraged to embrace their unique pathways towards impact by unlocking their full potential within the impact sector or embarking on a purpose-driven quest to drive meaningful change. Participants can choose a stream—such as the “Social Entrepreneurship” track—tailored to their impact pathway, providing access to specialised knowledge, mentorship, and connections within their chosen domain. With weekly sessions recorded for accessibility, Fellows can tailor their participation to suit their learning objectives while benefiting from continuous access to supplementary online materials. Mentorship also plays a pivotal role in the Fellowship, guiding Fellows in their personal and professional growth and offering support as they embark on interactive impact projects aimed at addressing real-world problems in collaboration with social enterprises.
