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 a tangible goal.

Area of interests include:

Opportunities related to social work, families/relationships, counselling
Research related to psychology and mental health
Law/legal service opportunities
Working with vulnerable populations on a community, group or individual level
Cyber security and software development
Working with HR organizations or departments for assessments of candidates
