Students will work on tailored projects, using their specialized knowledge and skills to provide targeted assistance and solutions. This hands-on approach not only aids local businesses but also enhances the students’ proficiency in applying project management principles in real-world settings. Much of the work will take place on site at each business or in the Upper Albany Main Street office. Students are expected to spend at least 10 hours per week during business hours (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) working on their businesses.
