How to Participate

Once an organization informs us of its interest, we enter a brief description of the company into a private database on the school's intranet. The students review the database to select a company to approach (or they may identify your company from other sources). They then contact you to schedule an initial meeting.

The introductory meeting allows both parties an opportunity to learn about each other. If there appears to be a fit, a second meeting is scheduled to define mutual commitments and expectations.

These steps ensure that you understand exactly what the students will be doing and what to expect from the assignment; they also allow you to satisfy yourself that you want to work with that particular group of students. If the first group is not suitable, then another could approach you.

While these discussions go on, the match between your organization and the students is also evaluated by their faculty chair.

If you think you would like to participate in the study program, now or in the future, please call or write to give us some basic information about your organization.

Strategy studies begin three times a year: in September, January, and April. Students start searching for sites two or three months prior.

This year, the number of companies and organizations that have taken part in the Schulich Strategy Field Study will surpass 2400.
