Backing up new talents
Project-based Internships?
Students apply to projects, not positions.
Every Company usually has dozens of initiatives aligned, but not enough time to elaborate on them. This is the time to scratch off some points of that list. Instead of offering typical positions, you’ll have to define real projects, like market research, social media coverage, developing new features
This way we want to reduce time wasted and ensure, that our Interns contribute meaningfully.
HOW TO PROJECT:
- Find a nice name (like “Ninja Report” from HIMYM)
- Select who you are looking for (Dev, Business, Designer)
- Add descriptions
- Add expected time expenditure (least amount of hours/week your intern should be able to spare)
- Define if single or group project
HINT: Include “WHY” in your projects for students to motivate!
IMPORTANT: The projects, as well as the Creative will only be viewable to our registered students.
What's the Creative?
Its your turn to be creative!
The Creative’s goal is to get the students‘ attention. Clicking on it, we’ll redirect them to your own landing page within the START Academy portal with more details and, of course, the projects descriptions.
HOW TO CREATIVE:
- Your company’s name, logo, colors, product
- Impression of what you do
- Who you are looking for
- Image format: 300×240 (wide x heigth)
HINT: Only one Creative for each Company!
IMPORTANT: The Creative, as well as the projects will only be viewable to our registered students, and only registered students.
