Businesses can now access the talent and skills of UQ Business School MBA students at a fraction of normal consulting rates.
A strategic alliance between UQ Business School and corporate consultancy firm tuscon provides a stream of talented, pre-assessed MBA students available on a contract basis for a minimum three-month period.
CEO Justin Robinson said, "We formed an alliance with UQ Business School to enable us to tap into some of the country's brightest young minds. We have also developed an extremely rigorous pre-assessment process ensuring an exceptionally high standard of candidates entering the program."
"By taking responsibility for the human resource functions associated with our candidates, we help business to reap the benefit of highly-skilled individuals without the hassle and red tape normally associated with employing both local and international resources," he said.
"Access to these resources can help employers cope with the skills shortage currently facing many Australian businesses."
"And by using current MBA students, they benefit from the most recent research and analysis without paying top dollar consultancy fees."
The program also provides access to Master of Commerce, Master of Business, and Master of Technology and Innovation Management students.
