Organization Description:
Ventures in Development is a non-profit organization that seeks to incubate and launch social enterprise ventures. We take innovative approaches to solve social issues and apply traditional business skills to achieve the double bottom line. Our vision is to solve development challenges through innovative and sustainable business solutions. Our current work spans two areas: Knowledge Development and Enterprise Development.
Our Knowledge Development platform aims to increase the awareness and adoption of social enterprises by creating an environment that can engage people on the issues of social entrepreneurship. We aim to achieve this through the following programs:
Case Studies: There are very little known cases of social entrepreneurship in this region. The goal of this program is to showcase and analyze home grown cases of social enterprises. Presentations: There is very limited understanding on social enterprises. We regularly give presentations and run workshops to increase the understanding of this field.
Our Enterprise Development platform encourages corporations, non-profits, and social entrepreneurs to take action to solve development problems with business solutions. We help identify, incubate, and implement social enterprises that have the potential to become financially sustainable businesses and create social impact. We are currently incubating two enterprises: Shokay (www.shokay.com) and Mei Xiang Yak Cheese (www.meixiangcheese.com). In Shokay, we are the social entrepreneurs ourselves. Through experiencing firsthand the challenges of launching a social enterprise in China, we are better equipped to help incubate future enterprises. In Mei Xiang Yak Cheese, we are incubating a Tibetan family to become role models of social entrepreneurship in remote Tibetan areas.
Internship Description:
Depending on her interest, the intern will work with either the Knowledge Development or Enterprise Development team.
An Enterprise Development Intern reports to Enterprise Development Manager, but works with the entire ViD team aiming to identify, incubate, and implement social enterprises that have the potential to become financially sustainable and create social impact. Interns at ViD will play an important role by researching and identifying business opportunities that solve development challenges and lead to implementable social business plans. Interns will indicate their findings through feasibility reports written and presented to team members.
A Knowledge Development Intern works with the Case Study Program and reports to the Knowledge Development Manager. Knowledge Development Interns research on social entrepreneurship cases. There is the opportunity to travel, interview, and conduct studies on social entrepreneurs. The intern should have an interest in working with rural communities in Western China provinces (Yunnan, Qinghai). The intern will be responsible for developing and presenting rigorous analytical cases studies.
