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

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

  • Assist with policy and implementation
  • Conduct research qualitative or quantitative
  • Cleaning data, building reports, and making graphs
  • Memo, technical, or grant writing
  • Public speaking or presentations
  • Public affairs (non-profit, government, private sector but public sector consulting)
  • International development/homeland security, and international affairs
