After consulting with community members and students, the Schools of Business team suggested a new business model for the MVI School that focused on selling hand-crafted metal products made by its students. Revenue from the sales of these products will supply real wages to students and graduates who have few economic opportunities and help fund the school to advance its mission of educating a labor force. Both the MVI School and the Babcock student team will work to sell the products through various distribution channels to local and international markets.
