What students are saying about it:
I thought the Micro-project was a great way to connect with employers from diverse companies and get a taste of what it's like to work with those companies. This program was also a great way for me to explore topics that are not necessarily attached to my area of study, and gain valuable transferable skills.
Overall, it was an amazing experience that allowed me to discover something new and gave me something interesting to talk about during my interviews
I liked having the opportunity to have hands-on experience. I got to see one of my captions being posted on the company's website, so that was a very rewarding feeling.
What employers are saying about it:
I appreciated the quick turnaround and limited hours for the project. It's great as small assignments and tasks can be done quickly.
It was a great experience; they all contributed to the project as per expectations. We are even hiring one of the students for an internship; she surprised us with the quality of work in such a short amount of time.
Having multiple students and a set of fresh eyes on the project gives depth and allows for great brainstorming. They all came from different backgrounds to tackle the same problem. This is uncommon and helped to see the problem from different angles.
