Summary of CEED Recruitment Process:
Once a client registers their project/s with CEED (online or via email), we confirm the details and timing of project/s before advertising details to the appropriate students at QUT, UQ & USQ.
Projects are advertised to students via the CEED website and our network of academic contacts (note: please omit confidential project/company details from project outline/s, for advertising purposes). You can choose to discuss confidential/other details of the project with students, at the interview stage.
An application, interview and selection process will follow (co-ordinated by CEED) - to assist clients to choose the most suitable student/s for their project/s.
Once a suitable student is selected by the client, CEED confirms a convenient start date. Project contracts are put in place (client and student), and the project fee is invoiced (1st instalment). Before the student commences work on the project, CEED provides the student with an induction session which includes training in project planning and management.
CEED then monitors the progress of all student projects, from start to finish. CEED is available to clients and students throughout the project for guidance and troubleshooting, whenever required.
CEED’s aim is for both the student and client to gain a very good project outcome. This means that the client receives a good and tangible project result, and the student receives good industry-based training/mentoring, experience in managing and delivering a ‘real world’ project, and a higher than average academic grade for their project.
