Project Summary: 

Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on learners from Concordia College to be your learner-consultants, in a project-based experience. Learners will work on one main project over the experience of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.


Learners in this program/experience will research IT security policies at similar companies based on size and type, making recommendations accordingly. We will deliver our recommendations in a format that the employer deems most appropriate (presentation, paper, report)


What can our learners do for your company?


Learners in groups of 2-3 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.


Project activities that learners can complete may include, but are not limited to: 

  • identifying the vulnerabilities that exist in computing systems and computing networks
  • identifying common human factors that can increase exposure of computing systems to risk
  • suggesting standard technological solutions for securing computing systems and networks
  • suggesting standard educational measures to avert vulnerabilities caused by human factors
