This experience is designed for learners who have a foundational understanding of accounting and finance and are eager to apply their knowledge to real-world business scenarios.

Participants will analyze financial data, explore the impact of financial decisions on business operations, and navigate the rapidly changing business environment. By engaging with industry projects, learners will develop practical solutions to contemporary accounting and finance challenges, preparing them for professional roles in the field.

Students will be working independently and will have input into the selection of the projects and companies they engage with. While every effort will be made to align student interests with project needs, specific project selection cannot be guaranteed. Students will coordinate directly with industry partners to determine appropriate start and end dates for their placements and may opt to begin their work-integrated learning experience immediately.

Deliverables are flexible and negotiable based on the type of project, and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization. Some potential deliverables include:

• A comprehensive financial analysis report
• Strategic financial planning documents
• A risk assessment and management plan
• Budget forecasts and variance analysis
• A presentations on financial decision-making impacts
