Design Your Own Real-World Project

Feb 27 • 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

You’ve completed co-ops and coursework that demonstrate your skills. But when employers ask about your initiative or what problems you care about solving, academic projects assigned by professors only go so far. This workshop helps you design a self-directed project that shows employers what you choose to pursue when no one is requiring it—and connects that work to the impact you want to have in your field.
In this workshop, you will build a project plan with SMART goals that you can start using immediately. By the time you graduate, you’ll have concrete evidence of your ability to identify meaningful problems and take action on them—exactly what hiring managers are looking for when they ask about initiative. Walk out of this workshop with a project plan you can begin this week.
