This is an invitation to members of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce to join a very pragmatic academic initiative between the University of Phoenix’s School of Business and local businesses in this beautiful City of Pasadena.
The University of Phoenix (UOPX) strives to be recognized as the most trusted provider of career-relevant higher education for working adults.
The mission of the University of Phoenix School of Business is to create rigorous and challenging educational programs in business and management to support our students’ professional goals and service to their communities. As an entrepreneurial learning community, our focus is on the creation and sharing of knowledge inside and outside our organization.
Our MBA Candidates acquire pertinent trends, theories and practices that are transforming the way organizations and businesses operate in the 21st Century.
Key to our MBA Program is a practical partnership between UOPX and Local Business Organizations. The basic premise of the Program is the proactive interaction between our MBA Candidates and the appointed representative(s) of the participating Local Organization, all under the leadership of our faculty members. This partnership creates a unique learning program for our MBA students that, also provides value to our business partners.
We are presently working with the Leadership of the Boy & Girls Clubs of Long Beach, with great success, a win-win partnership benefiting both our MBAs and this wonderful local organization.
We wish to extend this opportunity to local businesses in Pasadena that find themselves in need to obtain consultancy support from our MBA Candidates on different facets of business functions such as: business law, HRM, accounting, finance, operations, marketing and/or strategic planning.
If your firm is interested in participating in our MBA Cohort Program, please contact: Professor and Lead Faculty, Pete Cortes at pcortes@email.phoenix.edu. Please provide contact information, and please include which business area(s) are of interest to your organization where our MBA Candidates can bring their 21st Century acquired business knowledge and acumen to your door steps.
