• Expert Engagement: Build relationships with experts, explain the project context, and coordinate their participation through interviews, meetings, or surveys.

• Coordination & Follow-Up: Manage all expert-related logistics, ensuring seamless communication and timely scheduling for each project.

You will also have the opportunity to:

• Participate in career-building workshops on essential topics like resume writing, transitioning into the workforce, and maintaining strong work-life wellness, equipping you with the skills and insights to succeed as a well-rounded business professional.

• Lead and present a capstone project to senior leadership, providing you with the opportunity to further refine your critical thinking, commercial acumen, and communication skills.

• Opportunity to receive a full-time employment offer to return post-graduation. Explore what it’s like to work as a full-time Associate through our virtual job simulation.

What You’ll Gain

In addition to gaining transferable, hands-on commercial and client management experience, you’ll develop a set of key skills that will be invaluable throughout your career:

• Drive: You’ll learn how to stay motivated and resilient, taking ownership of your work and seeking responsibility. You’ll sharpen your ability to understand project requirements and find solutions to ensure success.

• Coachability: As you learn and grow, you’ll ask the right questions, quickly absorb feedback, and apply it to improve your performance and make informed decisions.

• Credibility: You’ll strengthen your verbal and written communication skills, learning to adjust your style for different audiences and influence positive outcomes.

• Problem Solving: You’ll develop a proactive mindset, learning to anticipate challenges and think strategically to overcome obstacles and deliver results.
