International Trade & Development - Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
The objective of the FSA Research Project (RP) is to provide students with insight into the world of an international consultant. The group consists of 18 selected, highly motivated students that will work together on various projects over the next eight months. The first challenge for the group is to acquire nine consultancy projects for Dutch companies. Consultancy firms provide several trainings to the students to ensure that the acquisition will be successful. Each duo is then assigned to an appropriate project and will start to prepare for the project with the necessary desk research.After an exciting acquisition period and thorough desk research, the field research in Mexico can start. We will start this period with an opening week, which marks the discovery of Mexico and enables the students to adapt to the local culture, environment and climate. The groups will travel through the country to different locations to conduct their research during five weeks of hard work.
