Learner goals and capabilities

In this course, students work with a community partner organization on an issue related to social responsibility or sustainability. Students will work as a team to create a marketing plan about the subject matter that your organization focuses on. You could, of course, use this information to support your own organization's overall marketing strategy going forward.

Working in teams of 4-5 students, our 4th year Marketing students will apply their knowledge of social marketing to a real-life organization with a particular problem/challenge related to the cause that they focus upon.
