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 a structure for the internship/work term, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

  • Data/Business Analytics
  • Market Research/Market Analysis
  • Brand Strategy and Development
  • Marketing/Digital Marketing/Social Media Strategy
