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 as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

Desired projects

Students come from an array of exemplary concentrations and specialties, resulting in a fruitful opportunity for employers to present a plethora of projects. Here is a non-exhaustive list of skills and projects that our students can complete:

• Web development focusing on HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
• Introductory analytics projects using python and SQL.
• Digital project management.
• Technical writing.
• Cybersecurity and privacy.
