The Region II, Idaho Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and the Business Division at Lewis-Clark State College offer SBDC business clients the opportunity to participate in student projects.

STUDENT PROJECTS – a win-win for our clients and for our future entrepreneurs.

Each semester, the Region II SBDC, the LCSC Business Division faculty and business students develop between 15 and 20 projects in the following areas: Human Resources, Management (SWOT), Accounting, and Marketing

Business Division Associate Professor Debbie Goodwin, who has corporate experience in Human Resources management, works with her Human Resource Management students to conduct studies into various phases of marketing and human resource management, such as the development of employee handbooks and job descriptions.

Jill Thomas-Jorgenson and Jenny Scott from the Business Division, work with Marketing students to develop marketing plans, marketing materials and promotion plans.

Delta Heath-Simpson, Associate Professor for the Business Division, and her Accounting students will be conducting studies in various phases of Accounting and Record Keeping including issues involving payroll, inventory counting, and financial analysis.

There is no cost attached to any of the student projects. Business owners meet with the team of students to familiarize them with their businesses and the areas they wish to see addressed. Research is done and recommendations are made. The students learn and the businesses benefit by having specialized projects developed for them.
