What a slot looks like
Meet the team
Introductions, a tour of what the team owns, and sitting in on their meetings.
Follow the work
Shadow one person through a normal working day — the tools, the reviews, the interruptions.
Ask everything
A session with the team on what the job is actually like, and a short wrap-up with BUUD.
Who it's for
- First and second years
- Before you have picked a track, and before a full internship makes sense.
- Anyone changing direction
- A few days is a cheaper way to find out than a semester.
- Students with no experience yet
- Nothing to apply with, and nothing expected of you but attention.
Shadowing first, internship later
Students who shadow a company are first in line when that company's internship applications open. Most of last cycle's placements started this way.
