FAQs
How long will the project take?
Projects typically start at the beginning of January (after returning from winter break) and finish at the end of May (before departing for the U.S. summer session).
What is the expected time commitment for the project?
Students will meet with the assigned person or representative of the company once every two weeks - either face-to-face or via Skype/Zoom. Throughout the week, students are expected to meet with their teams to complete daily and weekly tasks. Each student dedicates about 1,000 to 1,500 hours to the project.
How will project process be monitored?
Students will deliver updates and share insights on the projects together with the assigned person or representative of the company. Typically, our consulting teams will travel to the company location to meet with organization leadership at the start and conclusion of the project. Throughout the project, students are guided throughout the consulting process by our professional consultant, Scott Newton.
