About us The Experiential Learning Center is a place where college interns work as consulting team members working within the community to provide place-making events, festivals, sports marketing events, and fundraising events. As an educationally based vocational training center, interns are hired for up to a 16 week intensive work experience focused on event management, marketing and public relations projects. Acting as consultants, interns work directly with nonprofit clients from day one, but their offices are in the Learning Center. Providing direct services to the client, the interns provide community organizations the opportunity to work with interns without the responsibility of hiring, supervising, and training at their locations. Rather, at the Experiential Learning Center, interns are provided on-site vocational training, coaching, educational debriefings, and innovative capacity building analysis. The consulting experience is designed to organically empower interns to learn entrepreneurial leadership throughout their work experience. This opportunity is designed to reward ambition and leverage academic benchmarks and key learnings, while incorporating hands-on learning experience into the physical workplace. Motivated by customer-centricity, the promise is to nourish team members with opportunities, challenges, training, career growth, and an entrepreneurial spirit to be exemplary.
