CREST Summer Programme
Our CREST (‘Charity Entrepreneurship for Students’) summer programme is open globally to students aged 16-30, who are searching for a C.V.-enhancing immersion and deep-dive into international development and social enterprise.
Specialised coaching sessions
CREST students receive accreditation from IDEAS Globally for their experience being coached through the summer programme. As an organisation with a broad range of supporters including University College London, Ernst & Young, and Oxfam, our programme participants also attain vital exposure to the job sector.
Industry exposure through conferencing
Through a two-day conference with industry change-makers and young leaders under 30 years old, we provide an interface for CREST participants to learn from a range of social impact and corporate institutions, first hand.
C.V. growth & experience for your future
Our aim is to provide students with the wide range of practical business and socially-entrepreneurial experience you need, in order to launch your own enterprise in a developing country. As such, our programme is transformative to your C.V.
