Partnerships for student projects
Final year undergraduate students undertake a professional project with an external client. These clients are from industry, community organisations and government agencies. As these projects are not placements, the organisation is not required to supervise the student. A typical project involves a student developing solutions/recommendations to solve an organisation's information problem. Projects have included developing ways to keep current clients informed, identifying information blockages in an organisation, scoping and researching user needs.
The advantages for an organisation are that you will have a resource:
- who is capable of working at a professional level
- who will produce something that is worthwhile and of a good standard because it must satisfy UTS subject requirements
- from whom you will get an outcome.
It also enables your organisation to gain exposure to potential employees.
