COLLEGE BUSINESS EDUCATION VIDEOS
5-Minute Meter Productions together with World Class Communications Technology have been producing college business education videos for over twenty years. The programs, which are shown in college classrooms throughout the United States, are an integrated part of the classroom curriculum and give students concrete examples of how the theoretical concepts in their textbooks are applied in the “real world”.
For the featured companies, it is a fabulous opportunity to create positive public relations and gain mass exposure with millions of business students at no charge. For the business students, it is a valuable inside look at how business is actually done.
Below are samples of just a handful of the programs we have recently produced
