About The Project
Delivered by Learn With Leaders in collaboration with Spin Ventures, this esteemed Corporate Internship Project, aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to drive sustainable change in a circular economy. Through this intensive Zoom-led 6-week Experiential Learning Internship Project, students will explore and develop strategies to reduce the carbon footprint in an industry or sector that you are passionate about. Under the guidance of Harvard Student Mentors, participants will research an industry of their choice, understand its supply and value chain, and explore solutions to tackle the environmental impact of these steps while maintaining economic growth and creating value.
