The Apprentice Challenge | Metropolitan State College of Denver

The Apprentice Challenge @ Metro State is a collaborative venture between Metro State students, local companies and other community entities. We hope that your company will consider supporting the Alumni Association at Metro State.

Below is a list of potential opportunities for community partners/sponsors. For more information about these and other sponsorship opportunities, please contact Joshua Anderson at 303-556-6934 or jande189@mscd.edu.

As a Project Sponsor, your company will identify and select an assignment which is in alignment with your objectives in the areas of corporate social responsibility and community outreach. Students will be divided into two Apprentice Challenge teams and be asked to develop and implement a project in collaboration with your company and any community-based and/or non-profit partners that you identify.

After the culmination of each project, the team who successfully completes the task and meets the objectives outlined by the Project Sponsor will be rewarded for their efforts. The Team Reward Sponsor provides an opportunity for the team to celebrate their success in style. The rewards are designed to celebrate the winning team and provide a special VIP-only opportunity for the team who completed the assigned project successfully.

Boardroom Event Sponsors will receive recognition for their support of Metro State and the Apprentice Challenge @ Metro State throughout the evening. Contact Joshua Anderson at 303-556-6934 or jande189@mscd.edu for more information.

Note: Sponsorship opportunities are available until 5/1. Sponsorships purchased after 4/16 will receive FULL benefits, except print placement in "The Boardroom" program, which has been sent to print.
