Bring your course learning outcomes and course projects to find the perfect fit with one of the organizations we partner with. There are multiple solutions waiting for you!
You may consider adding an applied project to your course or finding new partners for your practicums, co-ops or internships.
These sessions are intense conversations so bring your best project ideas to the table.
You will have an opportunity to learn how a student can provide solutions to your problems or solve some of the issues you are currently dealing with. Examples include having students revamp your onboarding processes or renewing your business development strategy.
With students in over 200 programs, CapU can help you fill gaps in any area. You can choose to work with a co-op, practicum students, interns or even with a group of students to cover interdisciplinary topics.
