Volunteer Opportunities for Students
Each year, the NIBS Worldwide Case Competition brings together 16 teams representing internationally-oriented business schools from all corners of the globe. It also attracts sponsors and judges from leading business, non-profit, and public sector organizations. Volunteering for this world-class event is an opportunity to build your résumé and expand your horizons, all while enjoying a remarkable life experience.
Volunteers are welcome to attend most competition events, providing a fantastic opportunity to network with sponsors and judges from organizations looking to hire top students. Volunteering for NIBS 2023 provides you with tangible benefits you won’t find anywhere else:
