Organizations partner with VANTAGE student teams to collaborate in order to solve real problems through project-driven work. We look to our outside community for companies to partner with who offer an authentic business project or challenge for VANTAGE students to research, analyze and help solve. Student teams deliver customer research, videos, marketing campaigns and data analysis, to name a few. Our students work in small groups to bring a positive outcome to your company.

What does a project look like?

VANTAGE teams work with new companies at the start of each semester. The following outlines what you can expect when you sign up for a project:

1. Identify a problem or challenge.
2. VANTAGE leadership works with you to align on a charter.
3. You are contacted by student team to set up a kick-off meeting.
4. After the kick-off, your commitment is a mid-point and a final meeting where students will present their research and findings.

We ask that you are available via email or phone for additional ad-hoc questions. The average time commitment over the course of a semester is approximately 10-12 hours.

 

Outcomes

VANTAGE students bring a combination of hard work and a unique perspective to your challenge. Some of our projects have led to multi-million dollar benefits for partners. 95% of our project partners indicated they would want to do another project with a VANTAGE team. We do it all at a great price – free!
