Introduction
Experiential Learning is a proven and established methodology educating students across a broad variety of faculties to put knowledge and skills into practice by solving real company projects as part of their course syllabus by responding to an authentic, engaging, and complex question, problem, or challenge.
During these experiential learning sessions, students solve real problems and acquire transversal skills such as: critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, teamwork, and communication skills. It creates a dynamic, creative collaboration between students, scientists and company representatives.
Reasons to Engage
TELANTO's Academic Business Network supports universities to use a more contemporary learning methodology in a simple and efficient fashion that allows all students to require critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, and various forms of communication. To answer a company challenge and create high-quality work, students need to do much more than remember information. They need to use higher-order thinking skills and learn to work as a team in a virtual format.
Engagement Process
Bring university industry collaborations to life
We coach academics, leaders and student teams to co-create collaborative, meaningful solutions that drive personal, professional, and organisational growth. Digitising the university and industry intersection, helps academics and leaders to be more conscious in their collaboration – and helps student teams to interact more authentically in ways that enhance skills, trust, aliveness, collective problem-solving, and aligned action. We combine extensive experience of successful digital transformation with a deep knowledge of university industry collaborations. By addressing both we implement real, sustainable changes that impact multiple walks of life.

Have your students earn a university-industry collaboration certificate
Experiential learning is a great way to develop transversal competencies and also to demonstrate skills and capabilities in collaboration with an industry representative.
That is why at the end of every collaboration the professor and the industry representative evaluate the outcome and the shown competencies, resulting in a joint certificate for every individual student.
Students are continuously looking to differentiate from the crowd of fellow learners and to add credibility to a typically short CV.
With the certificate showing competencies and endorsements students are now equipped with a real asset next to their degree to land their dream job.
