What is the main goal for this project?

Our company will be working in conjunction with the Applied Computer Education Project Space (ACE Project Space) at Red River College Polytechnic (RRC Polytech). RRC Polytech is a learner-centred institution that places an emphasis on real-world experience and opportunities for students to take part in Work Integrated Learning (WIL). As part of the Applied Computer Education (ACE) department the ACE Project Space has been giving WIL experiences to students for the past 9 years. The ACE Project Space works with real-world clients to solve problems that will enhance their business. In the past ACE Project Space has worked with Government, not-for-profit organizations, established businesses and start-up companies. Solutions have been created for almost 100 unique clients and well over 100 unique projects have been completed.
