SOC (Student Opportunity Center) of Alexandria, Va., has announced an initiative with over 1000 HBCU (Historically Black Colleges & Universities) and HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution) classes in the areas of business and engineering.
For Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters, these business and engineering classes will work with selected companies on 4-12 week Experiential Learning Projects. The group is looking to get you involved!
"Please submit a 2-3 sentence project idea here to be considered, or book a call below to learn more and receive guidance for coming up with a project idea," SOC's announcement reads. Here are some details provided in an email sent by SOC to EA:
