Students will work on one or more information, network, or computer security projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students are available from January to April or May to August. Placements may be part-time or full-time, depending on your needs.
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.

Project Examples
Students can complete a substantial technology 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.
