In this episode of The Future of Training: Train4Success & McGraw-Hill Conversations, host Sara (Cateriano) Berg speaks with Professor Jason Ho (Simon Fraser University) and student team members Garry Tagger and Thomas Khant about a capstone collaboration that went beyond a local case—into a cross-border, real-industry project with LAIVE, one of Latin America’s leading dairy and food companies.
Together, they present a replicable model for university–industry partnerships. Train4Success helps source, structure, and orchestrate real business challenges, align stakeholders across countries, and support student teams as they deliver credible, decision-ready outputs—while building the capabilities employers actually value.
A key theme in this conversation is the international learning experience: working with a Latin American industry leader exposed students to multicultural collaboration, stakeholder alignment across contexts, and real-world ambiguity—accelerating their growth in communication, adaptability, and professional judgment in a global environment.
For professors, program directors, and universities, this episode provides a practical blueprint for designing capstones that strengthen employability, deepen experiential learning, and create meaningful international industry connections—without adding operational burden to faculty.
