Project Examples

Requirements

If any of your projects require the skills and expertise listed above, our students are available for 120 hours of placement to complete your intensive projects from May 26 to Aug 28, 2020.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.

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.

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:

  • Law, government, or policy connecting companies to constituents.
