Project Examples
Requirements
It is up to the company to come up with a job description and project for the student. Students will spend 200 hours over the summer (distribution can vary - condensed or spread out) working with your business.
As this is a course for which students receive academic credit (and receive simultaneous remote instruction) the internships are not paid.
Students come from a diverse range of academic backgrounds (business, STEM, and a mix of other fields).
Examples for jobs offered in the past are:
- Marketing intern
- Business development intern
- Market research analyst
- Accountant and bookkeeping assistant
Companies are encouraged to invite their students to participate and take active roles in staff meetings, events and other meeting as appropriate.
Currently we are seeking 1 employer in Richmond, BC or Vancouver, BC to take on an intern in Summer 2019.
