Details

We're looking for a team of 4-5 MBA students to act as consultants to our organization on a comprehensive plan that puts every discipline the students have learned in their program to work. We have been in operation since 1936. We have an annual budget of approx. $10, and are aimed towards strategic growth. Certain programs may need a detailed drill-down to improve processes, reduce expenses, and increase profitability of this earned revenue program for our nonprofit.

POB’s Affordable Eyeglasses Clinic provides prescription eyeglasses to individuals who need eyeglasses but cannot afford their full cost. Eyeglasses start at $40, including frames. Each year, we provide more than 1,000 local residents with eyeglasses at a price they can afford. We have proudly provided this vital service to our local community for more than 20 years.

Deliverables

The final deliverables should take the form of:

  • A final report
  • Document with recommendations, processes, and procedures
  • A 30-minute presentation
Mentorship

Students will connect directly with the employer for mentorship and supervision throughout the project. Staff are available to provide data, information, and support.
