The UBC Sauder School of Business has opened applications for their Community Business Project. The Community Business Project gives not-for-profit organizations and social enterprises access to free consulting projects from teams of bright, creative, and highly motivated Master of Management students. Organizations get the chance to tackle a key challenge, while giving Master of Management students the opportunity to hone their business skills and gain real-world business experience.
Steps to apply:
- Create a project
Projects must have a specific objective with a clear social benefit and directly contribute to the students’ skill development in areas such as strategy, finance, marketing or human resources.
- Complete an application form online.
While all proposals are greatly appreciated, not all can be selected. Projects are evaluated on a number of criteria: the required project components (including primary & secondary research), relevance to students’ skill development and commitment to community enhancement.
Key dates:
a. Application Deadline: Aug 2, 2020
b. Shortlisted applicants notified: Aug 4, 2020
c. Initial kick-off meeting: Sep 18, 2020
