Key Takeaways or Advice
As a Project Manager, this CCP was the best experience I have had this year. The student knew her interests, her strengths, and growth opportunities. Her intrinsic motivation partnered with the clear wants and needs of the client made for a winning combination. It was such a rewarding experience to see the ideas and prototypes of the students come to fruition.
Listening to the student’s interests and finding an engaged client are key factors in the success of any CCP.
