About Social Enterprise Hub

Our Social Enterprise Hub is where employability meets social impact, an opportunity for you to use your skills and energy to make the world a better place.

Taking what you learn in the classroom into relevant positive organisations gives you meaningful work experience and networking opportunities that will see you graduate confident and career-ready. At the same time, you’ll be helping valuable organisations and initiatives reach their goals and making a contribution to your community.

Torrens University’s Student-Led Consulting Agency

The Social Enterprise Hub delivers business consultancy services using the talent of our students under the leadership of an industry expert. In exchange, students gain practical and meaningful industry experience that helps prepare them for their future careers. As a student led consulting agency, students work at the social enterprise hub to shape its design, assist in coordination of operations and deliver consultancy projects to our purpose driven clients.
