Overview
Learner goals and capabilities

Virtual Internship Opportunity for MBA students: Bring on one or more students from the Vancouver campus of the New York Institute of Technology in the Master of Business Administration 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.

Expected outcomes and deliverables

Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the project and should be determined before the initial consultation

The student should complete 150 hours with your organization by the end of their internship.

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.

Students in New York Tech-Vancouver's Energy Management program complete the following courses:

  • Accounting Analysis
  • Economics for Managers
  • Financial Management
  • International Dimensions of Organizational Behaviour
  • Business Enterprise Environment

Additional company criteria
