Kristi Perrin [BComm(Hons)/20] didn’t have to think too hard about RSVPing to the Indigenous Business Education Partners (IBEP) 30th Anniversary celebration this September. A reunion of sorts—though many of Perrin’s former IBEP classmates are still her closest friends—the IBEP 30th is an opportunity for Perrin to make new connections, celebrate an incredible legacy and return to a space of community, warmth and welcome.

Jacinda Flores was a co-op student with a plan: pursue co-op, make a connection and do her best to show an organization like Wawanesa why she would make an incredible permanent employee, all while striving to make a positive impact in the workplace and the world. Co-op was always part of Flores’ plan, and one thing she has learned on this journey is that the benefits of co-operative education and experiential learning at the Asper School of Business reach students and employers alike.

Applied Business Consulting course an opportunity to earn credit by consulting with real businesses
July 9, 2024 —
The business world doesn’t follow a syllabus. Assignments change with client needs, and a consultant’s success is measured not by a grade, but by their ability to uncover, understand and respond to those needs. Students learn this firsthand in the Asper School of Business’ unique experiential learning course, IDM 4050: Applied Business Consulting. While students are supported by their classroom learning—a thorough study of business theory and practice in their BComm—IDM 4050 challenges them to think about how they will use this knowledge to manage client relationships consult real businesses and not-for-profits.
