Tasks
These are short term tasks offered by a company that will take 4 hours or more to complete. These tasks only require one student for example, “Translate a document, create a banner ad, data input”. Once a student is registered on the Bowsy platform, they can apply for these short term tasks on the Bowsy website.
Projects
Bowsy projects are operational focused. They give employers the opportunity to evaluate a student’s functional skills and they usually take 1-2 weeks to complete. One example of a project would be to “Create a Business Plan” and they are usually carried out in a team of 2+ students. The projects not only allow students to develop their teamwork skills, but also their problem solving and critically thinking skills. Once a student is registered on the Bowsy platform, they can apply for these projects on the Bowsy website.
Creative Challenges
The Creative Challenges are more long term orientated. They give employers the opportunity to fully evaluate students. The Creative Challenges are strategic focused - ‘A Mini Consulting Project’. The Creative Challenges usually take 3 weeks to complete which are carried out in a team of 6 students. A Bowsy “Creative Challenge Programme” can include 72 students across 12 projects. Once a student is registered on the Bowsy platform, they can apply for these Creative Challenges on the Bowsy website.
