Project Examples
What can our students do for your company?
Students can complete a project or specific tasks for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement proceeds 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.
Project examples that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- Develop and edit employee handbooks or manuals, including, but not limited to Employee Handbooks, WHMIS manuals, OH&S manuals, policy and procedures.
- Assess people analytics to increase employee engagement.
- Create and analyze employee learning and development opportunities to transition to the post Covid-19.
- Research best practices and trends to increase the people part of the equation.
- Apply change management framework for the human resources team within your organization.
Task examples that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- Recruitment/Talent Acquisition
- Researching post COVID-19 trends for recruiting and selection initiatives
- Creating job postings
- Screening applicants for a position, which may include reference checking
- Organizing and participating in interviews
- Training and Development
- Updating the onboarding or orientation program
- Designing weekly team training
- Job Analysis and Design
- Assessing the existing positions and job descriptions
- Recommending performance management measures to align with the organizational strategy
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Be available for a quick phone call with the Student Engagement Officer - Coop Lead to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
Provide a dedicated contact who will act as the student's primary supervisor over the duration of the virtual placement. A secondary contact should be provided as a backup. Students will interact virtually with their primary contact on a daily basis, or as needed.
Placements are paid, with students expected to earn between $17 -21 per hour.
