Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

The skills that students will build center around evaluating the present market, identifying strategic opportunities, evaluating opportunities for execution, evaluating business costs Learners in groups of 3-4 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations and reports based on their in-depth research and analysis.
