Team with the business school to offer work experience to students.
Participate in special programs sponsored by the university (e.g. venture capital forums).
Find out what expertise is available from business school staff. You may find a great local consultant.
Volunteer to be a business school case study. You will learn a lot about how your company is perceived and may get some good ideas.
If you are in the U.S. there are over 50 small business development centers that will give you assistance. Find your nearest at www.sba.gov

Offering work placements for students can be a great way for both parties to have new experiences and learn new skills.

For the student it is a perfect way to gain a real world work experience to see how a work place is different to a learning environment.

For the business owner students often have far better IT skills and can teach you a whole new world based around the internet and social networking.

[...] I’ve summarized the article below, but you can read the full article here: Five Tips on Using Universities… [...]

I would love to hear from you, please let me know what your take on my blog post is. In order to stop spam on my blog and increase conversations, I had to implement some simple rules:

1. Please enter your real name, not your company, product or service's name.
2. If you enter your URL, your name will become a link to the URL.
3. We may send you a confirmation email to check you are a real person

We are sorry but any violation of the above rules will mean an automatic removal of your comment.
