College students get a taste of the real world

Jamestown, ND (WDAY TV) - College students are getting a taste of the real world, taking hands on classes, working with small businesses.

Community Alliance for Management Consulting is a one semester class at Jamestown College. Junior and senior students are broken into small groups of 3 or 4 people. Each group is assigned a business and they spend the semester helping address any needs in marketing and consulting.

“So we constantly trying to come up with the idea of what we can do and help our business community be successful, they gain experience from our students and our students gain a real experience from what the real business issues are.”

Businesses contact the school to be involved in the program.
