Project Examples
Learners can complete a substantial 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 learner is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the learner (and company) a tangible goal.
Project activities that learners can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- Marketing and social media
- Content creation
- Research and trend forecasting
- Fashion and mood boards creation
- Data entry and analysis
- Inventory support
- Shipping and receiving support
- Ecommerce/website maintenance
- Merchandising
- Administrative duties
