“MSC presented the Davidson team with a problem statement that was impacting our talent pipeline but needed additional bandwidth to address. The team was able to quickly familiarize themselves with our organizational structure and connected with internal leaders to assess current processes. We were pleased to have their external perspective surface opportunities to accelerate internal career paths and reduce attrition. The team handed off their recommendations and MSC is now actioning those improvements. It was truly a collaborative experience with return on investment for both the college and the company.”
Our Gig-Hub program has proven to be a cornerstone in connecting talented Davidson students and commercial ventures, especially startups and small businesses, for short-term internships. The Gig-Hub program provides students who want to develop their professional skills with project-based micro-internships, known as gigs, that immediately translate into skills that employers desire.
“Working as a Gig-Hub consultant was beneficial. I appreciated how it pushed me to be more communicative and to manage my time more wisely.” Taw Meh’s comment demonstrates the dual value of the program to refine tangible skills and overall professional development. She also remarked, “The professional working world can be intimidating, but the Hurt Hub@Davidson has been a great help in preparing me well for what's to come!”
