The Community College of Aurora is offering an opportunity for employers to collaborate with students from its Business Statistics course. This course is designed to provide learners with a strong foundation in statistical methods and their application to real-world business problems. Students will gain practical skills in areas such as data collection, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and decision-making using statistical tools like Excel, Minitab, and Stata. Through this experience, students aim to develop key competencies in critical thinking, communication, and career readiness while solving business problems. As an employer, you will have the chance to guide students as they apply these statistical methods to your data and business challenges. This collaboration will involve regular communication with learners, offering feedback on their work, and participating in a final presentation where students present their findings and recommendations. You will provide mentorship and professional guidance, ensuring students gain valuable real-world experience while helping your business make data-driven decisions.
