BASE

The primary purpose of BASE is to create opportunities for students to connect with our corporate partners in the areas of sales, supply chain management, and/or business analytics.

What's in it for corporate partners?

BASE partners get rich interaction with our best students, the opportunity to have input into our curriculum, and opportunities for professional development with our other industry partners. Top-notch talent in sales, supply chain, and business analytics is in high demand, and a bad hire can have significant costs to organizations based on compensation, training, and lost revenue. BASE offers employers a recruiting advantage to bring high-quality graduates into their organizations who are better prepared to succeed in their sales, analytics, and supply chain roles.

What's in it for students?

Through BASE programming students get rich interaction with industry leaders, professional skills development training, and networking opportunities with employers across multiple industries to help them find high-quality jobs in their chosen areas of emphasis when they graduate.
