Resume Boosters:
- Make a difference in the local community through a final-year capstone project, allowing you to develop and refine communications and critical thinking skills
- Take courses that teach high-demand and long-lasting skills that help you manage complex projects, work well with others, and write clearly and persuasively
- Undertake hands-on projects (like podcasts and social media analyses) in courses that will also put your presentation skills to the test
"So with regards to the capstone, it’s one of the things I’m most excited about. It’s more of a real-world, hands-on learning type of experience. Rather than just being in the classroom, you’re going out and meeting with stakeholders, solving an issue for the Durham municipality, and by doing that you’re getting real-world experience, you’re going out and meeting people and getting contacts, which normally being in a classroom, you’re not going to do that."
