Welcome to George Brown College's Experiential Learning Program.
Up to two groups of six students from Supply Chain Management Program will be working on creating supply chain management tools for sale growth or supply chain performance improvement. Our students from Supply Chain Management Program have been successfully trained with the principles, methodologies and well-rounded data analytics skills for supply chain improvements.
Steps for Matching:
Step 1: Match Request Submission: As an employer, you'll submit a match request outlining your project. We'll then schedule a video call to discuss the project's suitability and alignment with our learning objectives.
Step 2: Pre-Approval: Upon mutual agreement, both parties will confirm the match on the Riipen platform, marking the project as pre-approved.
Step 3: Students Choosing: The pre-approved project will be made available for our students to select based on their interests and skills.
Step 4: Collaboration Starts: All communication and collaboration will be facilitated through the Riipen platform, ensuring transparency and efficiency.
Ideal Partner:
We're seeking partners from retail, wholesale, distribution industries or B2B, B2C, 3PL, 4PL companies, or manufacturers with make-to-order/make-to-stock strategy, global sourcing companies.
Ideal projects should involve real-world operational data. We will let the data speak.
Learners
The students will benefit so much from the operational data from the clients, and as a result they will identify the pain points of the business processes and provide the solutions for real-world clients.

Project Examples
Requirements
1. Sales Growth Analysis/Tools (a database design and development): If the client has a almost well-designed Datawarehouse for most of their operational data, or, has historical data (like product-level sales, customer order, purchase order, inventory, cost, price, etc.) from different software/systems and needs to integrate all the data from different sources to explain why the sales grows/declines, the student will create database tools and Power BI visuals to build actionable insights and solutions for you.
2. Sales Growth Analysis/Tools (an Excel/database design and development): If the client has only hundreds of products with data in Excel files (no Datawarehouse available), the student will create database/Excel tools and Power BI visual tools to drill-down your business issues and find solutions for improvements.
3. Inventory Analysis/Tools: If the client has accumulated cash flow issues due to lower Inventory turnover rates for fast-moving and slow-moving products, customer demand uncertainty, global purchasing challenges, supply process uncertainty, etc. The students will tell you how it happened, how to fix it, to what degree to solve the problems.
4. Please take notes: The IT tasks, like database schema design, coding, scripting will NOT be good fit for my students from Supply Chain Management Program.
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
How does your project align with the learning objectives of our Supply Chain Management experiential learning course?
How do you envision collaborating with our students to address real-world supply chain challenges?
Are you open to discussing alternative formats for project deliverables to ensure they align with both the project goals and our educational objectives?
Introduce the data available to be shared with students to support deliverables.
