Project Examples
Projects could include, but are not limited to:
- developing a marketing or sales strategy
- building a strategic plan
- developing a product/process/service
- building an MVP/prototype
- creating and executing on a project management plan
- leading a design innovation project
...
- Projects can be stand-alone or combined with student internships (paid or unpaid) or jobs.
- Internships allow both the employer and the student to assess suitability and fit with a company. Students are available at your location or remote for internships from January to August, for FT or PT work, in which the student is filling a role for the company. The added benefit of working on a project for the same company is the student will be able to learn and demonstrate greater ability then the role can. Students are very grateful for combined internships & projects so that they can add day-to-day value to the company, learn more about an organization, increase their experience while completing their capstone project.
