Each student spends a total of twenty-eight weeks on site with one or more participating companies. Faculty and sponsoring executives work together to guide the students through their learning experience. As interns, students are expected to learn to apply systems thinking and methods to help the enterprise achieve its business objectives. Initially, their responsibilities revolve around listening, observing, learning and communicating. Later in the program, these responsibilities expand to include analyzing and coaching. Students receive $10,000 in stipend-scholarships from sponsoring organizations.

A symposium involving faculty, sponsors and students is held at the end of the program.
