Intelaaq comprises a 12-week Student Business Consultancy Program that aims to transform undergraduate’s and recent graduate’s knowledge into practical application by applying classroom learning and experience whereby top-achieving seniors and recent graduates majoring in Business, Media, Graphic Design, and Communication are given the opportunity to provide consultancy services to local SMEs over the course.
The Graduation ceremony commemorates the conclusion of the fourth batch and the announcement of the winners from the 4 batches of 2015-2016.
