  Academics For Companies

  Sept 2015 - Dec 2015

  Student consultant

  As a student consultant you get the opportunity to participate in a Student Consulting project. By doing so you get a taste of the consultant life during a 10-week project in a multidisciplinary team of 5 students, by tackling a real corporate problem and formulating advice. Professional guidance and a crash course will help your team succeed. As a result, the company will have a viable solution and students will have an improved and extended skillset.I did a project for Oxfam. They were looking for ways to improve the economy in Burkina Faso, which suffered severely from the Ebola crisis. Oxfam wanted to help by increasing the cultivation of Fonio, a Quinoa like cereal. For this to be possible, a successful introduction on the Belgian and European market was necessary. Our team performed a market study and drafted a marketing plan, to help Oxfam achieve their goal.
