When school is in session, it can be good news for a business owner. Colleges and universities are a superb resource for finding part-time workers and for professional development and networking.
How you can work together with local colleges to help build your company and expand your expertise:
BUSINESS CONSULTING: Many business school departments actively work with local businesses to help develop specialized plans, models and marketing campaigns.
GRAPHIC DESIGN: If you need help with creating a logo or designing a new ad or Web site, the graphic design department is a great place to start.
CAMPUS CLUBS: Aside from working with professors and their classes, there also are many student clubs that focus on business issues who would be willing to partner with local businesses.
TAKE A CLASS: Taking a refresher course can help you stay on top of emerging trends and business theories.
SIT IN ON A LECTURE: Colleges often have industry leaders as guest speakers to share their stories of success and offer students advice for getting ahead in business.
GIVE A LECTURE: As a local business leader, you have a lot of knowledge that you can share with students to help them become successful in their careers.
JOB FAIRS: If you’re scouting for fresh young talent, college job fairs are a good place to start.
