Teaching
We convene a Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Enterprise, a postgraduate program for professionals and social entrepreneurs that inspires and equips graduates to lead and work within organisations sustainably and responsibly by developing a better understanding of the role, dynamics and impact of organisations in the creation of social, environmental and economic value. For further information visit the Griffith program catalogue:
Recent graduate, Gary Herman (pictured), says his experience studying the Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Enterprise was life changing. 'I have learnt how to manage business while creating a positive change in society ... Completing this certificate has given me a more complete picture of the world and what is happening on a global scale. This knowledge would have been wonderfully useful in my previous corporate role and would certainly have reframed many of the decisions I had been part of.'
