MBS Professional Development Center Initiative
PI: Niclas Erhardt, Maine Business School
Collaborators: Andy Egan, Head of Campus, University of Maine at Machias and Jason Bolton UM Cooperative Extension.
In order to meet the business needs of the Maine business community and the educational needs of students, the Maine Business School proposes the establishment of the MBS Professional Development Center. The mission of the Center will be fourfold: 1) to provide business consulting services to Maine-based organizations; 2) to offer workforce development opportunities for companies and employees; 3) to provide student internships and internship consulting to businesses, and 4) to offer integrated classroom-business learning in form of corporate classrooms. In meeting the needs of both the students and Maine’s business community, the Center will be supporting economic growth on campus and throughout the state of Maine.
