Project Examples
Requirements
If any of your projects require the skills and expertise listed above, our students are available for 150 hours of placement to complete your intensive projects from Aug 24, 2020 to Nov 24, 202.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.
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.
