<br />
== Project Pitch Video ==<br />
<br />
<a href="[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUHsaB_bGW8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUHsaB_bGW8]">Fall 2015&lt;/a&gt;<br />
<br />
Spring 2018:&nbsp;[https://youtu.be/cBZWFC3OEcA https://youtu.be/cBZWFC3OEcA]<br />
<br />
== Project One: Create<br/> ==<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;">Tactic 1: Makerspace</span><br/> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Creating an innovation space on campus will provide students with the tools they need to implement the many ideas they have.&nbsp; Allowing students to learn by doing will be a valuable asset to encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship on campus.&nbsp; An innovation space enables students from all disciplines to learn to think creatively.&nbsp; There are a vast amount of different activities that can be held in such a space.&nbsp; This will be a space that the university can advertise in order to attract more prospective students.&nbsp; All in all, an innovation space is a key factor in the pursuit of improving the culture of entrepreneurship and innovation throughout campus.</span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic 2: Rebrand & Expose</span> ===<br />
<br />
<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">The need to rebrand the University's Leadership, Entreprenurship, and Innovation efforts is a must if we want to excite and energize the student body with the opportunities available. This tactic will include a modern, simplistic logo and branding solution to represent the maker space and the opportunities within it.</font><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 3: Makerspace Workshops</span></span><br/> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">With carefully established protocol, we can offer MakerSpace workshops where students are welcome to observe, learn, and interact with the space with a knowledgeable guide. They can recieve beginner tutorials on the proper use of equipment, as well as a variety of other intellectual resources that will enhance their ability to be more innovative. These workshops can be once a month and cater to a certain theme, in which will open up another opportunity for us to bring in experienced innovators/creators from the local community.</span></span><br />
<br />
'''Tactic 4: Increase awareness''' <span style="font-size: medium;">While there are a few different options for innovation on campus, most students are not aware of the opportunities especially in the engineering school as most opportunities are provided my the business school. However, slowly both schools are becoming more innovative and interactive with each other. These opportunities are slowly becoming more available to all students as engineers and business majors alike are joining them and spreading the word of these programs</span><br />
<br />
== Project Two: Pursue<br/> ==<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tactic 1: 3 Day Startup</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3DS will bring students through the beginning steps of launching a company or project through innovation on campus.&nbsp; This is an event that will allow students to learn by doing.&nbsp; 3DS teaches entrepreneurship skills such as ideation, customer discovery and venture pitching.&nbsp; This would be a beneficial event for students interested in E&I.</span></span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tactic 2: Multidisciplinary Hackathon</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Hosting a hackathon on campus that invites students from all majors to join together to “hack” out an idea will expose students to innovation and entrepreneurship on campus.&nbsp; Students are constantly developing venture ideas and an event like this would allow them to gather a multidisciplinary team and work together to accomplish a goal.</span></span><br />
<br />
== Project Three: Motivate<br/> ==<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tactic 1: Bring Entrepreneurial Speakers to campus</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Every year we have a Bauccio Lecture and bring in a speaker, but we should bring more speakers in throughout the year.&nbsp; Having a monthly speaker will motivate students to pursue their ideas, and show that anything is possible.</span><br />
<br />
=== '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic 2: Host a TEDx event on campus</span>''' ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Hosting a TEDx event on campus, focused on innovation and entrepreneurship, can inspire the university into initiating a movement.&nbsp; TEDx events are known for their motivational speakers and talks, and an event like this on campus has the potential to attract a large amount of students and faculty.</span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic 3: Start Up Award</span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Having an award that is given every year at the university will help motivate students to create meaningful ventures throughout the year.&nbsp; This will give students something to work towards while working on their ventures and promote entrepreneurship and innovation on campus.&nbsp; Instead of giving the startup a large cash prize every year, we can give them an award of value, not just money.</span><br />
<br />
== Project Four: Teach ==<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 1: Weekend Workshop</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Creating a weekend workshop on campus to teach students about problem solving through Design Thinking. Through this workshop, students will be exposed to empathy, interdisciplinary teamwork and resources our campus has. Students will be challenged to identify a problem (possibly at the school) and work together so propose a solution. At the end of the workshop, students will have the opportunity to continue to pursue the solution they defined, and may be awarded a financial prize to do so.</span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 2: Freshman Workshop</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span class="TextRun SCXW32809281" lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW32809281" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: inherit;">Revamp of the existing Freshman Workshop requirement to incorporate a curriculum for problem solving with Design Thinking (DT). The workshop will be interdisciplinary (versus one major), help students identify the things they are interested in, be</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW32809281" lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW32809281" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: inherit;">come acquainted with campus resources, work with others, and learn and practice DT to solve a "passion problem." This will allow students to define their goals for their education, expanding their ambitions and creativity to shape the rest of their college career.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 3: Solving the World's Problems Class</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Expand the work done in Freshman Workshop to a core class for credit. In this class, students will continue to be taught and challenged to solve problems for others, using their skills and passions. Curriculum will include Design Thinking, inspiration through speakers, interactive challenges, and projects.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
== Project Five: Incentivize ==<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 1: Student-led investment fund</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Starting an investment fund led by students will give students to identify and student startups within the community.&nbsp; Having an investment fund run by and for students will provide capital for student-led startups and allow access to the mentoring of local entrepreneurs.&nbsp; This will also expose students to the Portland startup community.&nbsp; Raising capital while you’re still attending school is very difficult, and has the potential to deter students from pursuing their ventures.&nbsp; Therefore, a student-led investment fund has the potential to be a valuable program at the University of Portland</span></span><br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic 2: Increase funding</span><br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Speak with the office of development and Provost in order to discuss funding options from the community in order to fund the maker-space further and encourage innovation on campus.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">'''Project Five: Collaborate'''</span></span><br />
<br />
=== <font size="3">Tactic 1</font><br/> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">"Discuss with the Business and Engineering schools in order to incorporate some basic business classes into the engineering core curriculum so that the students are more well rounded and able to create a venture."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">'''<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 2</span>'''</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Build interdiciplinary programs and curriculum which will give students an opportunity to work with a diverse team to solve problems big and small. Such as engineering, business, and communications students collaborating on creating an improved University of Portland phone app that combines all of the necessary student platforms in one.</span><br />
<br />
== '''Project Six: Incorporate'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">'''Tactic 1: Career Focused Education'''</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">"Incorporate internships into schooling so that students are better prepared for the real world after college.</span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic 2: </span><br/> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Talk with the office of development about relationship with local companies.</span><br />
<br />
'''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic 3:</span>'''<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Speak&nbsp;with engineering and business post graduation centers in order to see how students could incorporate these internships or jobs to make it easier for students to get jobs.</span><br />

<span id="docs-internal-guid-347424c5-318c-82a0-f79f-a3ac8aa0072b"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">"At the University of Portland we are promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation through a variety of different programs and extracurricular activities."</span></span><br />
<br />
'''Overall Ecosystem '''<br/>The University of Portland is developing an innovation ecosystem that includes multi-disciplinary programs and experiential learning spaces such as the Pilot Space, the ThinkTank Innovation Lab, and the Digital Lab. These opportunities promote collaborative experimentation, prepare graduates for 21st century careers, engage students in identifying innovative solutions to social and community problems, and contribute to shaping Oregon’s growing innovation culture.<br />
<br />
'''E-Scholars'''<br/><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is an </span><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurial Scholars Program</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, which is comprised of a competitively selected group of undergraduate students and teaches the fundamental skillsets of developing a business model, pairs students with a local mentor related to their field, and offers domestic and international travel opportunities to learn about conducting business in diverse markets. Students are responsible for creating a new business venture or social enterprise, as well as implement innovative products and delivery models for these organizations. Every year we also hold a 100k Competition, where students are able to pitch their ideas and ventures to a group of investors for the possibility of receiving funds to support full-scale launch. Students also travel to Colorado for a national elevator pitch competition.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">'''Digital Lab '''<br/>The Clark Library Digital Lab provides current University of Portland students with the space, equipment, software and support to produce audio, video, photography and design research projects. The lab is a self-service facility staffed with student assistants and a coordinator able to assist users of all abilities.</span><br />
<br />
'''Think Tank'''<br/><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">We have constructed a brand new </span>[https://www1.up.edu/franzcenter/innovation.html innovation]&nbsp;<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">think tank in the school of business where students can pursue their innovative ideas. It features large whiteboards, collaborative space and a large selection of materials for rapid prototyping.</span><br />
<br />
'''<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Maker Space</span>'''<br/>The makerspace, known as the “Pilot Space,” is a collaborative innovation space designed for students to independently design, prototype, and manufacture their creations. While the makerspace is critical to students in engineering, math, science, and technology (STEM), the new lab, which will open initially this fall to engineering students, will subsequently be available to students in all disciplines at the University. There they will have access to 3D printers, mini mills, a laser cutter, soldering stations, prototyping materials such as arduinos and raspberry PI kits, and other equipment necessary to create models of their solutions.<br />
<br />
'''Technology Entrepneurship Certificate'''<br/><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The </span><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Technology Entrepreneurship Certificate </span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">combines theory and practice in an environment where academics are balanced with real world experience. Diverse cohorts are comprised of technology entrepreneurs from various fields and current students in Portland-area PhD, MBA, and JD programs. Over the course of a year, students will participate in and experience the entire spectrum of the commercialization process, starting with invention and product development, to technical and market feasibility analysis, through intellectual property acquisition and business planning, and culminating with venture funding and product launch.This highly regarded interdisciplinary program, jointly delivered by the University of Portland and Oregon Health & Science University, is designed for people with a passion for successfully turning ideas into ventures. It is particularly suited to those with backgrounds in science, engineering, or management and an interest in developing new business units from technology based intellectual property.</span><br />
<br />
'''Letter to the President'''<br/><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">A national letter from UP and other U.S. universities supporting the “Maker Movement” was sent to President Obama. The movement celebrates Americans who use new tools and techniques to launch businesses as well as those who learn vital skills in science, technology, engineering, and math.</span><br />
<br />
'''Biomedical Masters Program'''<br/>The University has just implimented a one year biomedical masters program. They are continuing to be innovative by looking at other masters programs such as implementing an entrepreneurial master’s program.<br />
<br />
'''Leadership Certification Program'''<br/><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We also have recently introduced the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Leadership Certification Program</span><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, which is available to any student of any major that wishes to enhance their skills in working with teams, as well as how to direct others in an efficient and respectful way. This program was just recently implemented.</span><br />
<br />
'''Dean's Innovation Challenge&nbsp;'''<br/><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to further promote Innovation & Entrepreneurship at UP, we have recently launched the Dean's Innovation Challenge and attracted 8 interdisciplinary teams. This challenge was successful for a year but has since stopped and it now trying to be revitalized. &nbsp;Additionally, The School of Engineering modified their core curriculum to allow students to take 9 semester credits of Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and/or business courses for academic credit. &nbsp;This is just the beginning of the innovative revolution occurring on the University campus -- change is slow but expect more to come!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">With carefully established protocol, we can offer MakerSpace workshops where students are welcome to observe, learn, and interact with the space with a knowledgeable guide. They can recieve beginner tutorials on the proper use of equipment, as well as a variety of other intellectual resources that will enhance their ability to be more innovative. These workshops can be once a month and cater to a certain theme, in which will open up another opportunity for us to bring in experienced innovators/creators from the local community.</span></span><br />
<br />
'''Tactic 4: Increase awareness''' <span style="font-size: medium;">While there are a few different options for innovation on campus, most students are not aware of the opportunities especially in the engineering school as most opportunities are provided my the business school. However, slowly both schools are becoming more innovative and interactive with each other. These opportunities are slowly becoming more available to all students as engineers and business majors alike are joining them and spreading the word of these programs</span><br />
<br />
== Project Two: Pursue<br/> ==<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tactic 1: 3 Day Startup</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3DS will bring students through the beginning steps of launching a company or project through innovation on campus.&nbsp; This is an event that will allow students to learn by doing.&nbsp; 3DS teaches entrepreneurship skills such as ideation, customer discovery and venture pitching.&nbsp; This would be a beneficial event for students interested in E&I.</span></span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tactic 2: Multidisciplinary Hackathon</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Hosting a hackathon on campus that invites students from all majors to join together to “hack” out an idea will expose students to innovation and entrepreneurship on campus.&nbsp; Students are constantly developing venture ideas and an event like this would allow them to gather a multidisciplinary team and work together to accomplish a goal.</span></span><br />
<br />
== Project Three: Motivate<br/> ==<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Tactic 1: Bring Entrepreneurial Speakers to campus</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Every year we have a Bauccio Lecture and bring in a speaker, but we should bring more speakers in throughout the year.&nbsp; Having a monthly speaker will motivate students to pursue their ideas, and show that anything is possible.</span><br />
<br />
=== '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic 2: Host a TEDx event on campus</span>''' ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Hosting a TEDx event on campus, focused on innovation and entrepreneurship, can inspire the university into initiating a movement.&nbsp; TEDx events are known for their motivational speakers and talks, and an event like this on campus has the potential to attract a large amount of students and faculty.</span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic 3: Start Up Award</span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Having an award that is given every year at the university will help motivate students to create meaningful ventures throughout the year.&nbsp; This will give students something to work towards while working on their ventures and promote entrepreneurship and innovation on campus.&nbsp; Instead of giving the startup a large cash prize every year, we can give them an award of value, not just money.</span><br />
<br />
== Project Four: Teach ==<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 1: Weekend Workshop</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Creating a weekend workshop on campus to teach students about problem solving through Design Thinking. Through this workshop, students will be exposed to empathy, interdisciplinary teamwork and resources our campus has. Students will be challenged to identify a problem (possibly at the school) and work together so propose a solution. At the end of the workshop, students will have the opportunity to continue to pursue the solution they defined, and may be awarded a financial prize to do so.</span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 2: Freshman Workshop</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span class="TextRun SCXW32809281" lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW32809281" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: inherit;">Revamp of the existing Freshman Workshop requirement to incorporate a curriculum for problem solving with Design Thinking (DT). The workshop will be interdisciplinary (versus one major), help students identify the things they are interested in, be</span></span><span class="TextRun SCXW32809281" lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; font-variant-ligatures: none !important;"><span class="NormalTextRun SCXW32809281" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-color: inherit;">come acquainted with campus resources, work with others, and learn and practice DT to solve a "passion problem." This will allow students to define their goals for their education, expanding their ambitions and creativity to shape the rest of their college career.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 3: Solving the World's Problems Class</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Expand the work done in Freshman Workshop to a core class for credit. In this class, students will continue to be taught and challenged to solve problems for others, using their skills and passions. Curriculum will include Design Thinking, inspiration through speakers, interactive challenges, and projects.</span></span><br />
<br />
== Project Five: Incentivize ==<br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 1: Student-led investment fund</span></span> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Starting an investment fund led by students will give students to identify and student startups within the community.&nbsp; Having an investment fund run by and for students will provide capital for student-led startups and allow access to the mentoring of local entrepreneurs.&nbsp; This will also expose students to the Portland startup community.&nbsp; Raising capital while you’re still attending school is very difficult, and has the potential to deter students from pursuing their ventures.&nbsp; Therefore, a student-led investment fund has the potential to be a valuable program at the University of Portland</span></span><br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic 2: Increase funding</span><br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Speak with the office of development and Provost in order to discuss funding options from the community in order to fund the maker-space further and encourage innovation on campus.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">'''Project Five: Collaborate'''</span></span><br />
<br />
=== <font size="3">Tactic 1</font><br/> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">"Discuss with the Business and Engineering schools in order to incorporate some basic business classes into the engineering core curriculum so that the students are more well rounded and able to create a venture."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">'''<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic 2</span>'''</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Build interdiciplinary programs and curriculum which will give students an opportunity to work with a diverse team to solve problems big and small. Such as engineering, business, and communications students collaborating on creating an improved University of Portland phone app that combines all of the necessary student platforms in one.</span><br />
<br />
== '''Project Six: Incorporate'''<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">'''Tactic 1: Career Focused Education'''</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">"Incorporate internships into schooling so that students are better prepared for the real world after college.</span><br />
<br />
=== <span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic 2: </span><br/> ===<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Talk with the office of development about relationship with local companies.</span><br />
<br />
'''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic 3:</span>'''<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Speak&nbsp;with engineering and business post graduation centers in order to see how students could incorporate these internships or jobs to make it easier for students to get jobs.</span><br />
