Engage bright learners and gain strategic insights
The Fuqua Client Consulting Practicum (FCCP) is an experiential learning course where students apply the skills they’ve learned at Fuqua and in their careers to your compelling business challenges. Our clients provide a meaningful learning experience to students in a real-world environment, and in return, they receive fresh ideas and approaches from a new generation of business leaders.
Students have the best learning experience (and can provide the best results to clients) when they’re presented with a significant business challenge and guided by a supportive, responsive client.
