Entrepreneurs<br>
</b></font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="-1">StartingBloc's Institute for Social
Innovation is a competitive and selective fellowship program that
educates and trains outstanding and diverse young leaders on topics at
the intersection of business and society: Corporate Social
Responsibility, Social Entrepreneurship, and Sustainable Development.
By working with top graduate and business schools, StartingBloc is
able to provide business and civic education to undergraduates and
young professionals seeking to excel in their careers upon graduation.
We are interested in sophomores, juniors, seniors and recent graduates
who are eager to use business to drive positive social change through
both for-profit and non-profit enterprise. The 2004-2005
Institute attracted over 125 young leaders from 37 colleges and
universities around the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />United
States. These leaders came from 39 countries, spoke 47 different
languages and represented every academic major. <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="-1"><b>Are you looking for competitive jobs
and internships?<br>
</b></font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="-1" color="#000080"><b>StartingBloc partners
with corporations and social enterprises from diverse industries to
recruit StartingBloc Fellows and alumni. Each year members of
the Institute are recruited by top firms for internships and full-time
job opportunities. Last year, students continued on to Goldman Sachs,
The Federal Reserve Bank, National Students Partnerships, the United
Way, Lehman Brothers, KLD Research and Analytics, McKinsey and Co.,
and many more!</b></font><font face="Arial" size="-1"><br>
</font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="-1"><b>Thinking about Business School or
Graduate School?<br>
</b>Are you thinking about the next academic step after college but
don t know where to look for more information? The Institute is the
only program focused on bringing young leaders together with MBA and
graduate school admissions officers and faculty at top schools to
learn more about accessing the programs they need to develop their
careers. Institute training sessions are held at various graduate or
business schools offering you an exclusive sneak preview of the
institution.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="-1"> As a StartingBloc fellow you have
the opportunity to apply through StartingBloc to The MIT
Sloan/StartingBloc Future Business Leaders Program. During the
2004-2005 Institute six StartingBloc fellows received admission to the
MIT Sloan School of Management for the class of 2006, 2007, or 2008 as
they chose. Recipients included Douglas Hwang MIT '05. <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Arial" size="-1">The 2005-2006 Institute events will take
place at a wide variety of graduate schools, including the MIT Sloan
School of Management, Yale SOM, The Fletcher School of Law and
Diplomacy, Columbia Business School and the NYU Wagner Graduate School
of Public Service, among others. In addition, other graduate
schools including London Business School and Wharton are actively
recruiting fellows and alumni from the program.<br>
