Learning by doing

My work as an intern was both fun and varying.

I worked with research assignments and analyses of CSR strategies, as well as creative writing for the company blog.

I also learnt a great deal about working with social and environmental responsibility, and what it means for actors in society.

Today this knowledge is coming in handy as I continue to work towards making this planet a bit better.

The value of social business

Working with Tania & co. gave me a flying start to my career.

The atmosphere was one of trust, responsibility, humour, innovation and seamless guidance based on the vast experience and expertise in social innovation and cutting-edge trends that Tania and the Social Business Company are so good at spotting, communicating and conceptualizing.

The unlimited access to a network of social business pioneers and on-the-job learning gave me tools and ideas that have remained with me in my further journey through different UN agencies and cultures.

STRONG CAREER FOUNDATION

I had the pleasure of working with Tania & co, while I was still a master student at Copenhagen Business School specializing within Sustainable Business and CSR.

After my graduation I continued to work in The Social Business Company, which gave me a solid foundation and knowledge about sustainable business and social entrepreneurship.

I loved being part of The Social Business Company, where strong visions and innovative mindsets thrive.

In practice, I worked with conferences, business development, social media & online video, and as a result I started my own company strongly supported by Tania.

By working with The Social Business Company, I gained both practical experience on sustainable business practices, but also in-depth experience and knowledge about how to run a company.

Tania has been an appreciated advisor and an inspiring role model, and I have gained a strong foundation to further develop my career.

GREAT DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY

I was part of The Social Business Company right after I finished my masters in Social Entrepreneurship.

Initially, I had no idea what I wanted to work with or where, but working in the company made me realize that I wanted to work somewhere that made a difference.

Tania challenged me in an eloquent, yet direct manner, and helped me focus and set career goals that I have never thought about or considered before. She made me realize what I was good at and what I needed to work on.

Tania simplifies complex concepts and helps with practical implementation in a way that makes you feel you can do it easily.

After my trainee period at The Social Business Company I got - backed by Tania's warm recommendation - the perfect job at COOP Denmark.
