THE
PROGRAMS: SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
A 5-student team will
display the sponsoring company's logo on their shirts and on their
team flag. They are referred
to throughout the session by the Corporate name, e.g., "Team
P&G", "Team Cintas",
Team Fifth Third", etc., as they compete against
three other teams for gold, silver, and bronze "Olympic" medals
at each Corporate site visit. Employees of the sponsoring company
are invited to join the team
at any time during the week, and assist them in the current
competitive event, in addition to bonding
with the members and heightening brand awareness.
A
sponsoring company is encouraged to host a behind-the-scenes
site visit by four teams. The students compete
in critical-thinking problem-solving exercises
that give them a glimpse of the business challenges
faced every day in the sponsoring company's operations.
The senior IT management team of the sponsoring
company is invited to have lunch with the students,
pass out business cards, and begin an early "recruiting" process
by introducing the students to the career opportunities
available at their firm.
In addition, the sponsoring company is invited to send representatives of their company, in their own logo wear, to the other locations visited by their team, and to join their team in the competitions of the moment. The resulting team spirit and corporate brand recognition opportunities make these visits not only educational for the students, but an incredible amount of fun for all!
2008 - 2009 Sponsorship Fee per 5-student Team: $5,000
