Students will work on a specific project, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students are available from Mid-July to End-September.
Students will work on a designated project to help the employer on the business. In the end, students will present their findings and final delivery to the organization, analysis of the experience, and their recommendations, if any.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, virtual student placements are preferred. In-person student placements will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on local COVID-19 restrictions.
Learners
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the responsibilities and should be determined before the initial consultation.
Project examples
Students can contribute to your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a specific track of the 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 description creates a structure for the Capstone, and gives the student and company a tangible goal.
