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.
Fast Track Challenge
This activity is similar to the Business Challenge, but allows students to deliver insights and brainstorm solutions in just 2 weeks. Student groups will have the initial meeting with the company to learn about the challenge and will have to be creative and collaborative to organize their final presentation to the company after working together for a limited amount of time. Their presentation to colleagues and company executives will happen live, in an online session.

Live Case Practicum
In the Live Case Practicum, students will work on a real case provided by a company. All groups will work on the same case and present their findings to the company executive who will have the opportunity to share how the challenge was addressed. 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

“Our goal was to increase engagement for our graduate students during the pandemic. They participated in a 2-day hackathon, which enabled them to apply the skills they learned in the classroom to a real-life business challenge. Our students received a world-class experiential learning opportunity that expanded their business acumen through our partnership with the Austral Group.“
Joan McClendon, Associate Director of Experiential Learning, Specialized Masters Programs. University of Notre Dame

“It was great to have spent the past 2 days working with my classmates on a real life business challenge with DogLog App. Thank you to our University of Notre Dame – Mendoza College of Business faculty and Austral Education Group for putting together this unique learning experience for all of us in the graduate management program!”
María Isabella Gómez, Master’s in Management graduate, University of Notre Dame

“We worked with Austral on a Marketing Planning Business Challenge for Skizo, a company that recycles ocean plastics into sneakers. It has been a delightful process from start to finish. Austral understood what we wanted from the project, effectively matched us with the right client and enabled our students to work on a practical application in marketing management at a postgraduate level. The contextual scene was carefully curated from the beginning and it successfully captured our students’ imagination. They really enjoyed the experience. I am looking forward to working with Austral again on our next project.”
