MBA Enterprise Corps

What is the MBA Enterprise Corps?

The MBA Enterprise Corps - a division of CDC Development Solutions - deploys recently-graduated MBAs from the top 52 U.S. business schools for long-term volunteer assignments with the goal of driving growth in emerging economies worldwide.

The standard MBAEC assignment consists of a one-week orientation and training period in Washington, DC followed by 12-15 months of work as an advisor with a partner business, NGO, association, or government working on small business development, finance, supply chain development, export/trade, corporate social responsibility, or private sector development projects.

Since its founding 20 years ago, over 1000 members of the MBA Enterprise Corps have provided high-impact business skills to clients in emerging markets. They have advised the Government of Southern Sudan on pro-business trade policies, have developed strategic plans for local NGOs in Guatemala, provided management consulting services to B2B firms in Bulgaria, and have built the capacity of banking and microfinance institutions in India, among many other successes.
