Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from Ryerson University to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.

Students in this program will be exposed to how information about the Creative Industries can be collected and analyzed. They will survey research methods that are both useful within the Creative Industries and crucial to studying them. Students will review information retrieval techniques as well as methods of data collection (audience research; content analysis; critical and textual analysis; online ethnography; etc.). Through practical exercises, students will develop the research skills that are required of many careers within the Creative Industries (grant, report, and policy brief writing, etc.) as well as in advanced graduate degrees.

Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the students and the organization.

Some final project deliverables might include:

1. A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
2. A detailed report including their research, analysis, insights and recommendations
