The goals of the Technology Consulting in the Community course are to:

• Expand the capacity of the Community Partner to use, plan for and manage technology, administratively and programmatically. The student focuses the consulting effort on the Community Partner and the organizational context in which the Community Partner operates.
• Create an opportunity for the Student Consultant to learn process consulting, project management, communication, relationship management, problem identification, and analysis.
• Provide the Community Partners with valuable assistance as the partnership solves problems, pursues opportunities, develops strategies, and addresses gaps in technical knowledge.
• Present the Community Partner with a final consulting report in which the student analyzes the outcomes and formulates a set of recommendations designed to help them continue making progress toward their goals.
