ITM 295R Portfolio Service Project / CIT 295 Practicum
Why a Service Project?
Do you like to do nice things for people? Do like technology? Can you learn by helping others? If you answer yes to these questions, this is where you can gain college credit for it as well as practice using service opportunities to build your professional network and a portfolio of work that you can use to “show and tell” to hiring managers in job interview situations.
How can I find a place to get started?
How about trying a way where the opportunities can find you? Several students have discovered the power of social networking and professional networking by creating and sharing a post and then engaging in conversation until the right opportunity opens up. Please note that non-profit and public service organizations (like schools and government organizations) make this whole process much simpler for everyone.
What do I need to do to be authorized to register for the course?
The short version is that you will need to submit two documents to the Course Instructor at itm295@byui.edu:
- Write a proposal and receive an authorization from the course instructor. (see Proposal Template)
- Have your project beneficiary (the organization and/or person benefitting from the service) acknowledge compliance with applicable labor laws such as the Fair Labor Standards Act or FLSA (in the United States, beneficiaries can submit the Attestation for No Compensation).
