Student goals and capabilities

Virtual Internship Opportunity in Energy Management: Bring on one or more students from the Vancouver campus of the New York Institute of Technology in the Master of Science in Energy Management program to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more information, network, or computer security projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students are available from January to April or May to August. Placements may be part-time or full-time, depending on your needs.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, virtual student placements are preferred. In-person student placements will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on local COVID-19 restrictions.

Project Examples

Students can complete a substantial technology 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.

Student interviews are a mandatory part of the program. The course admins will forward student details to you so that you can set up interviews.

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.

Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
