The Champlain Approach:

By partnering with us, you'll collaborate with professional MBA students who engage in hands-on learning within a group dynamic, guided and supervised by experienced faculty members. The central goal of this partnership is to align their acquired competencies in all Business disciplines using Champlain’s unique Areas of MBA Practice model, delivering tailored solutions to your unique challenges from a truly broad MBA perspective. Our aim is not merely transactional; we envision meaningful mentorship and organizational connections through Action Research that fosters deep learning experiences for our students and your organization. 

This course runs up to six terms per year (approximately every eight weeks) and is dependent on enrollment. If there are not enough students, we will postpone until the following term.

How It Works:

• Submit a Match Request: Provide details about your business challenge and project via the Riipen platform.
