We started with a free flow brainstorming session, where we tried to identify all the components of the problem in hand. We enlisted all the causes and then tried to address each of the components. the following is a snapshot of our brainstorming exercise.
We crystallized our ideas from brainstorming to the following specific objectives.These three objectives us to better divide work and collaborate together to put the final project report and presentation together.
Specific objective(s)
● Background
Research to better understand the landscape:
·
Existing
programs and resources at the University of Illinois and other campuses that
are related to our project
·
Identify
what type of positions students would be interested in
·
Begin
communication with potential partner organizations (including what type of
interns they would want, logistical requirements, etc.)
● Create a
web-based resource for students that would include:
·
A
link to specific internship opportunities (posted on Simplicity)
·
Guided
instructions on how to approach an organization and secure an internship
·
Information
about the following:
§ Campus career
services
§ Skill
development resources
§ Strength Finder
or similar program
·
Example

·
Timeline
outlining how and when to get a summer internship
● Promotional Plan
·
We
will explore the following options to promote the Summer Internship Initiative
across campus- information sessions, flyers, speaking at lectures, booth on
quad, etc. We will also use existing
networking events and career fairs to promote this project.
Identifying these key objectives helped us to better work on our Vision to Reality final project report and presentation.
