Project Examples

Requirements

Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

Students are in the Post-Graduate diploma program. All students seeking a placement have work experience, and the vast majority have a prior degree or diploma.

The 5 students seeking virtual placements have skills and experience in the following areas:

  • Project management
  • Marketing
  • Vendor management and communications
  • Accounts receivable, billing and invoicing
  • Business operations and office administration
  • Customer support
  • Preparing budgets and quotes for clients
  • Marketing and sales
  • Event management
  • Software skills represented in this student cohort include: Excel, SPSS, Oracle and SAP SD module, Callidus, CRM systems, GIS and MS Project

If you are interested in offering a virtual placement to one of the 5 students, please submit a project describing one of the major types of work the student would be doing for your organization.
