Overview
- Learner goals and capabilities
-
Looking to elevate your business, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Sussex University to be your student consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the four-week period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students will be working flexible hours over a 4-week period, where student teams will learn how to listen to a clients’ business challenge, research and analyze the problem, then deliver their findings to the client in a fully supported setting.
Start dates may vary depending on the project, but are due to begin on Monday, June 28th and finish by Monday, July 26th.
- Expected outcomes and deliverables
-
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the partnership. However, these deliverables must be discussed and agreed upon prior to the start of the work period.
Project Examples
Work in small groups with other finalist students to research, analyze and recommend strategies for a business in line with a project brief. Potential topics might include:
- Improving an organization’s social media presence
- Reviewing and recommending sustainability practices
- Testing a product/service/website for usability and navigation
- Helping businesses recover from the impact of COVID-19
- Analyzing market trends and competitors
- Investigating potential new products and services
Additional company criteria
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
Be available for a quick phone call with the Programme Lead to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
