ACCELERATOR PROJECTS
Consulting Projects
In four short weeks, you will handle multiple real-world consulting projects in the Accelerator program. Applying what you learn in class, you’ll work in teams to devise solutions to business challenges facing real companies. Then you’ll present those ideas to each company's key executives, sometimes even the CEO (people you’d never meet in an ordinary internship).
PROJECT SPOTLIGHT:
RED PEPPER
redpepper is an innovation advertising agency based in Nashville. For this project, Accelerator students had the opportunity to meet with executives from redpepper and one of their major clients in the consulting field. See project highlights in the video.
