OUR PROGRAMS
We believe that the best way to learn is through real experience.
Therefore, we offer transformational learning programs that are based on
the Global Consulting Projects (GCP).
By addressing existing business challenges that client companies need to solve, students gain a thorough understanding of international business practices and cultural differences and develop transferable work skills in line with NACE Competencies for Career readiness.
Our projects and programs are time flexible and can be offered either as a semester module - autumn or spring, or as a separate stand-alone program offering.
The scope, length and complexity of all programs is designed to meet the level, academic knowledge and work experience of the students.
All of our programs are modular and can be easily integrated into any university business course.

SKILL GAPS AND WORKFORCE READINESS
The growing skills gap threatens the competitiveness of organizations today and in the future. As a result, the demand for preparing employable graduates is constantly growing.
U.S. Business Needs for International Employees also presented by NAFSA says that almost 40% of companies surveyed missed international business opportunities because of a lack of internationally competent personnel.
When 95% of potential consumers live outside of the United States, we cannot afford to ignore this essential aspect of higher education.
