The student is available for 160 hours of for-credit work experience.

Project Examples

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.

All students seeking a placement have work experience, and the vast majority have a prior degree or diploma.

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

  • Project management
  • Marketing operations
  • Human Resources
  • Marketing and sales

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

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Provide a dedicated contact who will act as the student's primary supervisor over the duration of the virtual placement. A secondary contact should be provided as a backup. Students will interact virtually with their primary contact on a daily basis, or as needed.

Placements are for-credit experience for students, but honorariums are welcomed if your organization is able to provide a stipend for the student.

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
