ALPS | Basic projects are open to fit your custom needs. Each proposed project is reviewed by our staff to assure the workload aligns with the allotted time while allowing flexibility.
By working on a project for 13 week with students, you are able to see their soft and hard skills up close and personal. Student team members will be looking for future internship and full-time opportunities.
Help move young professionals forward by sharing your insights to help them improve their ability to apply what they have learned in their university studies through your project work.
In addition to the project fee, clients are expected to lead their teams through the 13-week project. Clients may select to have students work in an area that is outside of their expertise. However, results will vary as the students may or may not fully understand the work to be done. Successful projects tend to have clients that work with their teams for 4 to 6 hours a week along with focusing on a project scope that they understand well, but do not have the time to complete themselves.
* Due to the student selection process, posted projects may not be completed in a given semester. Projects without sufficient interest will receive a complimentary review by RBDC staff to provide recommendations for improved appeal to students.
