"LOCALIZATION" BE-EDGE Consult-a-thon

A three-week immersive localization-focused competition, where Edge-Crafters collaborate to explore new avenues for their employability investments while delivering high-impact consulting solutions to a nonprofit organization facing a unique challenge. Each team will have the opportunity to choose their own approach, working together to develop and propose an innovative solution. With its dynamic and collaborative structure, the Consult-a-thon is designed to be a fun, engaging, and rewarding experience, allowing participants to refine their expertise while making a meaningful impact in their new environment.

Why BE-EDGE Consult-a-thon? 

The LOCALIZATION Consult-a-thon serves as a more accessible and fun version of Case Consulting as an Employability Investment. It consists of four sections, the introduction and the finale. Each section refers to a different level of synchronization between the strategic goals of newcomers and of the organization of their market-entry interest.
