Your Company's Challenge is executed free of charge

Is your organization facing a challenge in the field of Business Development and you would like to make use of the possibility of assigning graduate 4th-year students in Business Engineering (just before their final graduation project)? Then please register with us before October 16th 2018.

Your Company Challenge in Business Development is performed from 12 November 2018 until the end of January 2019.

Our students Industrial Engineering with the profile Business Development conduct prior to their individual graduation an assignment for a company. In the period from November 12th, 2018 until the end of January 2019, a team of two or three students, 2-3 days a week will be working on your business challenge. In the first week the students come to visit you for a first interview, after which they make the description of the assignment together with you, and then write a plan of approach in the first week. So they work for 7 or 8 weeks on the research & development of your business challenge and conclude with the presentation of their analysis and advise. Students can count on intensive coaching during the project of their lecturers at the Amsterdam University of Applied Science.
