Big Global Companies Such As Philips, Johnson Controls and Procter & Gamble Give Students at Hult’s Five Campuses the Chance to Gain Valuable Hands-On Business Experience

BOSTON, July 21, 2011 -

• Students at Hult’s campuses in Boston, San Francisco, London,
  Dubai and Shanghai get the chance to be consultants for Fortune 500
  companies
• Verizon, Natura, Sherwin Williams, Levi’s, 3M, Emirates NBD and
  OLPC among the big names taking part

Several Fortune 500 firms, which attract some of the brightest
minds in business, will be setting Hult International Business
School students specific ‘challenges’ that help to foster important
skills such as identifying growth opportunities in emerging
markets, and creating innovative business models that are fit for
the future.

Hult’s partnership with these world-leading companies is an
important aspect of its unique series of ‘Action Projects’, which
put an emphasis on learning outside of the classroom. Through
Learning, Experience and Action Projects (also
known as Hult’s LEAP method), students are able to apply skills
they learn in the classroom to everyday business issues, emerging
from their studies as dynamic and work-ready job candidates.

Michael Perman, Senior Director, Global Marketing for Levi’s
said: “Tapping into a pool of fresh talent with experience in the
emerging markets combined with the competition and collaboration
between multiple teams is leading to a number of interesting
concepts for us.”

Welcoming the launch of the new student challenges, Henrik
Totterman, Dean of Hult’s Boston campus, said: “We know how
important practical work experience is to recruiters. That’s why
we’re delighted that our Action Projects are now giving students an
opportunity to work with some of the biggest companies out
there.”

Hult students are set the real puzzle of developing breakthrough
innovations for services markets in India; redefining how social
behaviors, mobility, and new technologies can impact a company’s
business model; and determining the potential market size for
healthcare products.
