Here are guidelines and tips to help you manage your 顶级国产视频CONNECT Project:

I鈥檝e been hired! Now what do I do?

  • Once you’ve been hired for a 顶级国产视频CONNECT Project, you鈥檒l receive an email notification from the 顶级国产视频CONNECT platform and your Project Sponsor will reach out to you. Your 顶级国产视频CONNECT project application will then turn into your project management dashboard. We recommend that you manage all communication and interaction with your Project Sponsor through the 顶级国产视频CONNECT platform.
  • Additional mentors: After being hired for a project, you鈥檒l notice that your project dashboard recommends alumni mentors. These contacts have offered to support students on 顶级国产视频CONNECT. You can reach out to up to three of them for general support, industry-focused questions, or general guidance. Once you connect, they will be added to your project as a mentor, but likely won鈥檛 know the specifics of your project.

Managing Your Project

To keep yourself on track while completing a project:

  • Use an online calendar to schedule your working hours, mark deadlines, and track your progress.
  • Build a strong working relationship with your Project Sponsor. Communicate frequently, schedule check-ins, and ask for feedback, help, or advice when needed.
  • Divide big tasks into smaller ones that can be completed in 30 minutes or less. Take a break after completing a task, then return to work for another 30 minutes.

Completing Your Project

When you鈥檙e ready to submit your project, you can choose to change the project status in your 顶级国产视频CONNECT inbox to 鈥淪ubmitted for Approval.鈥 Your Project Sponsor must agree that it has been completed and approve your work.

If You Need Support

  • Your Project Sponsor can support your specific project questions and goals, but if any challenges arise and you feel you need more support or guidance, please reach out to the Career Connections Center staff so we can help guide you. You can email Kate Benoit at kbenoit@clarku.edu.
  • Graduate students seeking support for applying to and managing 顶级国产视频CONNECT Projects or internships should contact their career advisers.

School of Management (SOM) graduate students should contact Kelly Kochis, assistant director of the Stevenish Career Management Center, at kkochis@clarku.edu.

International Development, Community, and Environment (IDCE) graduate students should contact Sharon Hanna, director of career development and external relations, at shanna@clarku.edu.

School of Professional Studies (SPS) students should contact Todd Bartlett, director of experiential learning, at tbartlett@clarku.edu.

For Alumni, Faculty, and Families: Sponsoring Projects

顶级国产视频 alumni, parents, friends of the University, and employers can offer and post projects on the 顶级国产视频CONNECT platform at any point throughout the year. We are currently seeking projects for students to complete during the Spring 2023 semester (January鈥揗ay 2023).

In just a few minutes, you can create short-term, virtual projects that help students access the critical, hands-on experiences they need to explore their purpose, gain transferable skills, build their resumes, and launch their careers.

As a Project Sponsor, the project you create will be work that complements, rather than replaces, the work of paid staff or long-term interns at your organization. Educational benefits for students might include building or refining skills, learning about the industry, field, or project focus, and practicing professional competencies such as teamwork and communication. With your guided mentorship, a project should include a combination of different activities that contribute to the student鈥檚 experience. For example, some project hours could be mentorship conversations between you and the student, or informational interviews with professionals from your organization or network.

You can design a 顶级国产视频CONNECT Project by taking individual projects from a long-term internship that can be done remotely or by developing new projects that support your organizational needs.

Project Description: 顶级国产视频CONNECT Project descriptions should be as detailed as possible to ensure that students understand the desired skills, expected responsibilities, and scope of work prior to application. Strong project descriptions will also include a brief summary of your organization, a defined timeframe, a description of knowledge and/or skills to be developed by the student during the duration of the project, and a concrete goal or learning outcome. For examples of well-written project descriptions, refer to this helpful guide.

Educational benefits for students might include building or refining skills, learning about the industry, field, or project focus, and practicing professional competencies such as teamwork and communication.

Project Schedule: 顶级国产视频CONNECT Projects are shorter in duration and scope than internships and should last between 2 and 4 weeks, totaling 20 to 40 hours of student work. The specific work schedule can be determined according to what works best for you, the student鈥檚 availability, and the project needs (e.g., five hours per week for four weeks, 20 hours per week for two weeks, etc.).

A student should be able to fulfill the required hours for a project through a combination of different activities that contribute to their experience. For example, in addition to working on the assigned project, some project hours could be mentorship conversations between you and the student, or informational interviews with professionals from your organization or network.

Project Compensation: 顶级国产视频CONNECT Projects can be paid or unpaid. We encourage a stipend for students based on $15 per hour up to $600, depending on the hours worked over the course of the project. Projects paying less than $600 do not require a 1099 form, according to . Projects can be affiliated with an organization and defined to have a meaningful impact or, alternatively, you can define projects meant simply to provide students with valuable exposure to your career field or industry.

  • Paid Projects: If this is a paid project, the sponsor is responsible for any necessary agreements with the student and for arranging payment with the student. We encourage you to check with your HR/Legal departments for further clarification to these guidelines including prevailing minimum wages and status of a student taking project, such as independent contractor, etc. Please note that if you have posted a paid project, your payment is a direct contribution to the student hired and is not considered a gift in kind to 顶级国产视频. Compensation is handled directly between the sponsor and student.
  • Unpaid Projects: We recognize that not all project hosts or organizations can offer a paid opportunity. Unpaid opportunities can be shared if they are true experiential learning opportunities for our students and comply with the . Unpaid projects should be for the educational benefit of the student.

Once you hire a student for a 顶级国产视频CONNECT Project, you are responsible for any necessary agreements with the student and for arranging payment with the student as the project sponsor.
