Benefits

Partnering with sponsoring businesses and organizations, XN facilitates opportunities for students to work on short-term, real-world projects to complement their academic work.

Projects are carried out virtually over a flexible six-week period as an academic exercise in their field of study, and students and sponsors work closely in an authentic professional environment during which students produce deliverables for their sponsors that may help inform critical business decisions while helping learners gain confidence and apply classroom learning to solve real world problems.

Participation in XN projects allows students to apply classroom theory to practice and grow their professional networks while contributing to a real-world organization’s ability to move forward on project-based work. XN allows our partners to engage with rising professionals on exciting and important project work all virtually at no cost to get things done and collaborate with the next generation of professionals.
