Colleges and universities
Put your course material to the test.
Your students apply what they learn inside a company that reacts to their choices. They come out with decisions they can defend and a portfolio they can show.
Mandates built for you.
We design mandates around your courses and learning outcomes. They stay reserved for your students.
Within a course
A mandate tied to a class session, to move from concept to practice.
As team projects
A team mandate, with a discussion space for each group.
Before the internship
A realistic first work experience, without the risk.
Across several terms
The same company, followed from one course to the next, with more responsibility each time.
Teaching through decisions.
A mandate has no grade and no hidden answer key. Students compare their decisions with the company’s, with the reasoning, and see what a good question would have unlocked. Assessment stays in your hands.
- DurationSet in advance, from a few hours to a few days depending on the mandate.
- FormatIndividual or team.
- ContentCompany, documents, colleagues and deliverables designed for your goals.

A company that grows with your students.
From one course to the next, students return to a company they know, with more responsibility. Example with BRUME, an illustration company.
