Companies in Question (CINQ) is a project under Enactus Calgary that acts as a student run advisory committee that aims to provide valuable experience for students and valuable input for non-for-profit organizations and social enterprises.
As a part of CINQ, students will be able to gain experience within the field of consulting and marketing and build problem-solving skills. CINQ members will have access to a number of opportunities such as networking events (e.g. Beer and Nachos with a CEO, Be Your Own Hero Day, etc.), competitions (if they would so like), and even internships will be available to students who prove to be the most successful and dedicated.
The following year, CINQ will be working with three companies:
(1) Impact Society, (2) Goodpin, and (3) SureCall. Under each will be multiple subcommittees.
