Projects should provide 80 hours of work per learner participating. Each project must be completed within 2-6 weeks. For more information on how to create and submit a project for, you can consult this article.
There’s no limit to how many projects an employer can submit to the Program. You should work with 3-4 learners per project.
If this is the case, we suggest taking on more learners on the same project. We ask that employers accept at least 3 learners per project, but up to 4. Working with 4 learners means a project can require 320 hours of work in total.
