Major projects challenge students to develop their time management skills. Business graduates are known for their efficiency.
Group work
Employers today are looking for people who work in teams just as well as they work individually. To meet this demand, the International Business Management program provides many opportunities for teamwork – far more than you’ll find in a traditional university.
At the beginning of the program you will be assigned to a team of four to six students. During the first year, your team will work on projects together. In the second year, students are able to choose who they work with.
Below is a small sample of projects that students will complete during the program:
- International Business – Country Report (Year 1, Level 2)
Students will complete a comprehensive country report that analyzes the conditions for business in a chosen nation. This project gives students an understanding of areas to focus on when entering an international market.
- Transportation Systems Project (Year 1, Level 2)
For his CITT course project, students find a company in the transportation industry to analyze. The company must provide one of the five modes of transport: Road, Rail, Water, Air, or Pipeline. It is the first opportunity to interact off-campus with an industry client.
- Mini-Industry Project (Year 2, Level 3)
Students are given the opportunity to pick their team of two or three. Each team is given a faculty advisor from the International Business Management program. Skills are generated in this project to get students ready for the 4th level Industry Project.
- Business Consulting Project (Year 2, Level 4)
The final project students complete is the Industry Project. It is a practicum-like learning experience with an outside firm. Students will work at the company during fourth term, where they will be given the opportunity to solve real-world problems.

of a set attend all classes together and form teams for group projects.
Lectures are simultaneously given to several sets, while labs include only the students in your set. This arrangement permits plenty of personal attention from instructors.

Business Consulting Project
A BCIT Business Consulting Project provides second year International Business Management students the opportunity to work over a 10 week period with an organization to solve an international business problem or challenge. Students work in a team of two or three to identify potential opportunities, conduct research, and recommend effective solutions. Students complete a comprehensive written report and present an oral presentation to the sponsoring organization outlining the student team’s recommendations and solutions.
Business Consulting Projects are different from traditional co-op and internship programs. Students are not assigned to actual positions, but rather fill a consulting role for businesses and organizations. Each project has a BCIT faculty member that serves as an advisor for the student consulting team. Exit surveys from participating companies show that the completed strategic business solutions have a value that far surpassed their expectations.
