5C Product Space is a club on the Claremont Colleges focused specifically on helping students grow as leaders in Product Management. Our aim is to make the field of Product Management more accessible to 5C students by providing workshops/AMAs, interview prep, career mentorship, and a year-long capstone project working on a real-world Product issue for our Product Space Fellows.
