Lead your students in real-world global microenterprise consulting projects

GLOBAL BUSINESS SQUADS

With the facilitation of our in-country professional teams, aspiring business students build business skills through consultations and workshops with rural microenterprises. 

BRING INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENTIAL SERVICE LEARNING PROGRAMS TO YOUR STUDENTS THROUGH:

ONLINE HYBRID LEARNING

Global Business Online Hybrid Learning directly propels students into an international consulting setting right from their classroom. The program creates an engaging virtual experiential learning environment leveraging to build cultural competency and gain real-world international consulting practice with a tangible impact on the lives of aspiring entrepreneurs abroad.

INTERNATIONAL GROUP TRAVEL

Students work alongside mentors and our on-the-ground teams to provide probono consulting to microenterprises in under-resourced community partners. Students work to create business deliverables using our frameworks, present their findings to the entrepreneurs, and help capitalize new ideas to foster financial growth.

GLOBAL IMPACT ACADEMY

Bring a small group of students (3 or more) to the Global Impact Academy on a 9-day service trip to Belize, Guatemala, Panama or Greece. The Academy will take a cross-disciplinary approach to resolving development issues in our partner communities and include hands-on business projects including SWOT analysis, marketing and business planning workshops.
