Working with Universities and Colleges for course credit
Over the years we have worked with many Universities and Colleges to provide course credits for students.
The most common are:
- CPT Students
- Capstone Classes
- Work experience program
We have a standard process for our work. We track work that is assigned and performed with JIRA. So all the students can track what is expected of them and what they have accomplished.
Some of the Universities/Colleges have requested access and we provide them the ability to review what is being done.
As well, we are asked to rate the students two or three times during the term, which we do.
With ASU, the capstone actually operates over two terms.
We do not have the infrastructure to create course plans, however, we have plenty of material to allow the students to create a detailed curriculum.
