Create and submit your TalentED YYC project
1. Request a portal pass. Select ‘Request Match’ on the TalentED YYC program for the cohort you're looking to match a project to.
2. You can match an existing company project, or create a new one using a template from our library. We recommend that you use the approved template.
3. Creating a project is a 5-step process in the project creation wizard.
Add a descriptive title, and summarize the work you want the learners to complete. Make sure the expected outcomes for your business are clear to learners, and that they can get a sense of the scope of work from your description.
Make sure to provide a concrete scope for the team’s work and limit their work to a single project. The deliverables will be a 10-15 page business plan, based on the team’s course curriculum.
Projects should provide 50 hours of work per learner, for a team of up to 5.
Currently, there are no limitations to the number of projects an employer can submit. Learners, on the other hand, will only complete one project.
Continue through the steps in the wizard. If you save your project as a draft, you can return to your project at any time to make edits.
4. Before your match can be accepted, you will need to click “Sign Agreements” and formally agree to the TalentED YYC Terms and Conditions.
5. Once the Terms & Conditions are thoroughly reviewed and signed, click “Accept request”.
A few things to note:
Your project should be acknowledged by the TalentED YYC team within 5 business days.
There may be an in-person onboarding meeting with more details to come.
Once matched to the program, TalentED YYC learner teams will begin to apply to your project(s). You will be alerted by email and can view the team page and learner profiles from your dashboard.
Details of dates can be found on the experience page you matched with.
You must accept 1 team per project.
