LIFT equips and inspires UC Berkeley students to contribute to the next wave of inclusive innovation and research, and pursue careers as fintech researchers, regulators, and industry leaders.

There are many opportunities for UC Berkeley students to gain skills in teamwork, research, program management, and communications with the LIFT within the Institute for Business & Social Impact (IBSI).

IBSI staff hire student assistants to support specific administrative workstreams and faculty hire Academic Student Employees (ASEs) in pre-doc, graduate student researcher, and post-doc positions to support and lead research efforts.
Depending on funding available, IBSI can also fund student innovations – such as tracks focused on inclusive financial technology in Blum Center’s Big Ideas program.
