捆绑SM社区

The 捆绑SM社区 Mastercard Foundation Transitions Project was created in 2020 to facilitate the transitions of Mastercard Foundation Scholars into the workforce during the pandemic, building on the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program. The impactful interactions of Mastercard Foundation Scholars and the staff developed to support the Mastercard Foundation Scholars Program continue to contribute immensely to institutional change and further strengthen 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 engagement with Africa. The Mastercard FoundationTransitions Project provided opportunities for Mastercard Foundation Scholars to engage in internships, professional development courses, and entrepreneurship, supported by a diverse network of professionals, including faculty/staff, alumni and partners from academia, industry, and community organizations. The Mastercard Foundation Scholars impacted a wide variety of organizations through internships ranging from placements with start-ups to UN organizations and worked on issues across various African countries. Mastercard Foundation Scholars and Alumni who participated are still applying the practical lessons learnt from professional development courses they took under the Transitions Project, such as in Project Management, and partnering with 捆绑SM社区 and stakeholders from the private and public sectors in entrepreneurship and employment creation projects.听听听
