Learner goals and capabilities

We are seeking project submissions for a course-based WIL project in Professional Communication on a business analysis topic. Please note that there is no financial cost associated with your participation. Instead, we seek your invaluable commitment in the form of time and expertise.


This course will provide students with an opportunity to apply the different skills and knowledge they have learned throughout the program in a real-world setting.  Working in pre-assigned groups, students will deliver a set of standard business analysis deliverables, as well as specific deliverables outlined by the partner agency. A real ongoing project has been written as a case study and is used in class to be analyzed by the students. An external project advisor provides guidance and coaching to the teams as they develop their work plans and deliverables.  Groups will compete to deliver the best product for the same project.  At the end students present their findings to the partner agency.
