Beatriz PicardCollaboration Overview
About Students
This is an opportunity for our top graduate students to engage in an 8-week project working as outside consultants to solve a strategic challenge for real industry leaders. Students work as teams in order to come up with the best solutions. You can expect each student to contribute roughly ~20 hours per week. The students receive course credit, and thus, compensation is not required to participate. If students perform well, you're definitely encouraged to consider them for more permanent positions.
About Program Goals
By the end of their projects, students should...
- Engage and network as industry professionals,
- Apply concepts from their coursework to real industry challenges,
- Building rapport with industry leaders,
- Improving soft skills like organization, leadership, communication, etc.
- Get a better sense of the different industries and job roles that interest them
