Could your organisation use extra resources for an upcoming project, whilst providing a training opportunity for a near-graduate? Many clients also like to source future employees by ‘trialing’ CEED students on a real-life project – you can beat the skills shortage. Via CEED, you can source good students from three Queensland universities (UQ, QUT & USQ) – from the areas of Engineering (most areas), Information Technology, Business (MBA, Marketing, HR, Finance) and Science (Maths, Computing Science, Biotechnology, Biology). Students work on their project (on-site) for 3 days/week (minimum) throughout the semester (13 weeks) ... and full-time over summer vacation, if applicable. CEED projects are integrated with the students’ university course, and students are assessed on the results of their project. They also receive academic credit for the project. 2009-11-02 00:00:00 http://brisbanetechnologypark.com.au/cicms/includes/NewsFetch.php?stid=115 An initiative of the Queensland Government’s Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation, the Ideas2Market small business workshops are delivered around Queensland by the AIC’s experienced facilitators and include a range of guest speakers including patent attorneys and real-life business case studies.
