Project Examples

Requirements

Students 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 student is asked to complete. Providing a central project creates a structure for the internship and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

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

Opportunity assessment
Industry and competitor research
Interaction with clients and suppliers
Research target market segments
Compiling, cleaning, and processing relevant data
Research opportunities to improve project efficiencies
Create, improve and/or maintain social media marketing plans

Additional company criteria

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

Q - Checkbox

Provide a dedicated contact who will act as the student's primary supervisor over the duration of the virtual placement. A secondary contact should be provided as a backup. Students will interact virtually with their primary contact no less than once a week. Contacts will also provide a timesheet for students every two weeks.

Q - Checkbox

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the internship.
