Consulting Projects
During Consulting Projects, students interact with executives to work on specific challenges faced by their companies. This activity lasts from 2 to 6 months and guarantees high levels of experiential learning and cross-cultural engagement. It is a fundamental complement to international business models taught by professors.
Business Challenge
The Business Challenge inspires students to work collaboratively on brainstorming solutions to real-life business problems in a limited amount of time. The groups will have one kick-off session with the client company to get the challenge briefing and will have up to 2 months to put a presentation together. Their ideas will be presented to colleagues and to the company executives in an online or in-person session.

It is an experience to learn about the decision-making process while understanding the company roadblocks and priorities when facing a real challenge.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Austral identified two great client projects in Panama that offered our students excellent experiential learning experiences. The students were able to apply their in-class learning to real-world business problems. In addition to assisting with client communication and getting the projects “off the ground” with our students, Austral created an incredible itinerary for our students for a site visit in Panama. This itinerary combined unique cultural experiences, interesting learning opportunities, and tastes of great local cuisine. With Austral handling all of these details plus transportation and lodging logistics, our faculty and students focused on delivering a high-quality consulting service to our clients, and also enjoying an eye-opening international experience. The students came away from this opportunity with a stronger global perspective on the business world.”

“Austral Group did an amazing job connecting us with opportunities to work with diverse companies, from different industries, small and big that fantastically fit the bill for us.”
