Hundreds of companies have partnered with the Institute to offer internships (for full-time students) and sponsored challenges (for senior executives) on variety of skill areas. Whether it’s revamping your product UX or a new market expansion, participants can add tremendous value to the organization by working on challenging projects under the guidance of our faculty.
