Student goals and capabilities

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from York University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course between November and March in their final year, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

This course encourages students to apply their learning from across the program in a practical application. Reflection on academic theory is used as a point of departure. An important focus of the course is developing the skills necessary to successfully complete an inquiry project.
