A BCIT Business Consulting Project provides Business Information Technology Management students with the opportunity to work over a 10-week period with an organization to solve an information technology problem or challenge. Students work in a team of three or four to identify potential opportunities, conduct research, and recommend solutions focused on the alignment of technology, process, and people.
BCIT BITMAN students possess a strong foundation in business and technology management. Their diverse skill sets, fresh perspectives, and unwavering dedication equip them to tackle your business analysis activities head-on. Sponsoring a project allows your organization to receive practical support and contributes to the professional development of tomorrow’s leaders and problem solvers.
The Business Information Technology Management program accepts approximately 20 project proposals per year.
