Project Examples

Requirements

Students can complete a substantial project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student (and company) a tangible goal.

Program outline

Undergraduate students who are in their fourth year of the Bachelor of Business Administration program, may choose to participate in this program. Students have the opportunity to apply classroom concepts to the challenges of business life as they gain valuable, relevant work experience as an intern student within your organization. Students are available from the following degree programs and majors:

Bachelor of Business Administration:

  • Accounting
  • Finance
  • Human Resources
  • Marketing
  • Management
  • Supply Chain
  • Energy, Oil & Gas
  • Construction Project Management

Benefits to the employer

  • Employers help SAIT produce highly productive and potential future leaders by complementing and enhancing a student’s applied learning through meaningful work experience.
  • Students are available for specific long-term projects or for a series of short-term tasks, depending on employer needs.
  • Students could be assessed by employers for their ability, professionalism, and aptitude to become a potential career employee.
  • Students have completed a minimum of three years of academic study, thereby obtaining a solid base of theory and technical skills.

What we ask of employers:

  • Use reasonable efforts to enable the student to receive broad exposure to the business carried on at your company.
  • Require the student to perform only such tasks as reasonably fall within the scope of the student's training and abilities.
  • Sign a straightforward practicum employment agreement outlining the above-mentioned responsibilities.
