Imagine you just facilitated a constructive client debate around several growth strategies your team suggested. Imagine seeing a new product in the market and knowing that your research and recommendations were used to launch it. You don’t have to imagine anymore. In the Carlson Consulting Enterprise you will gain real world experiences like these while working with clients; resulting in a positive impact on their business and your career development.

The Carlson Consulting Enterprise (CCE) is part class part work experience. It’s a 2-2.5 semester course in which student-led teams are assigned to work on a live client project for a local company. Project work is supplemented and enhanced by a weekly class that teaches structured thinking and project management skills that will be crucial in any career path.

In short, the CCE:

Teaches an approach to business problems in a consultative fashion
Gives you the direct coaching, mentoring, client interaction, and direct feedback you’d normally only get by having a job.
