**Looking for Fin-tech organizations**

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on a Graduate or Post-Doc student from University of Saskatchewan to be your student-consultants in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester.

In the semester prior to working with you, these Graduate students and Post-Doctoral fellows identify their learning goals around a specific set of professional skills that they would like to further develop. These skills fall within a wide range of professional skills that enable graduate students to excel in responsibly engaging and leading our complex global communities into the future. They construct a learning plan, and take on self-driven opportunities to develop these skills.

After completing this personal development, while documenting and reflecting on these learnings, students will work with your organization to apply their skills to benefit your organizational needs.

Project Examples

Students will work individually with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.

Project activities that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:

(1) Develop/refine a business plan; for example, for a new social enterprise.
(2) Develop an outreach strategy; for example, a strategy to attract new stakeholder groups.
(3) Examine the feasibility of creating a social enterprise for revenue generation - for example, do a critical analysis of a potential startup.

Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

A representative of the company will be available to answer questions from students in a timely manner for the duration of the project.

A representative of the company will be available for a pre-selection discussion with the administrator of the course to review the project scope.

The employer is aware our students come from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and is inclusive and supportive of their development.
