Make an Impact Beyond the Classroom
Are you looking to gain real-world consulting experience, apply your technical and business skills, and make a difference in the local community this summer? The Rensselaer Consulting Club (RCC) invites undergraduate students from all majors to join our summer cohort and work on high-impact, hands-on projects that matter.
This summer, RCC will work on two consulting projects:
- AI for Small Businesses
Help small organizations in the Capital Region understand, evaluate, and implement artificial intelligence tools that can streamline operations, improve customer engagement, and enhance productivity. This project is ideal for students interested in data science, machine learning, business analytics, or entrepreneurship. You’ll work directly with clients to assess their needs and provide strategic, technically-informed recommendations. - Immigrant-Led Business Incubator Development
Collaborate with local partners to design and launch a support model for immigrant entrepreneurs in Rensselaer County. This initiative includes conducting needs assessments, developing program structures, identifying funding opportunities, and creating resource networks. Students passionate about economic development, community impact, social innovation, or inclusive entrepreneurship are encouraged to apply.
Why Participate?
- Build real consulting experience for your resume
- Collaborate in small teams on client-facing work
- Get mentorship from experienced professionals
- Expand your local network and make a social impact
- Flexible to your summer schedule and course load
No prior consulting experience is required—just curiosity, commitment, and a desire to learn. Whether you’re a business major, an engineer, or a designer, RCC offers a space for interdisciplinary collaboration and meaningful work.
