What Is A Stukent Simternship?
A Stukent Simternship™ or simulation packs months of role-specific experience into your course.

With a Simternship, your students get broader, more standardized access to hands-on education, as students won’t be limited by the opportunities available locally. A Simternship can “fill in the gaps” of an internship and ensure each student gets a well-rounded experience. You can rest easy knowing that every student in your course will have a great experience with a Simternship — it’s the homework your students want to do!
Whether students are marketing, business, communications, or accounting majors, they can participate in a Simternship in a new field or specialization. Simternships are a powerful way to help students differentiate themselves from other candidates in the job market and gain deeper, more holistic perspectives on different aspects of the business world.
How Simternships Work
- Easy Enrollment & Grading
With Stukent Simternships, you’re in control of your students’ experiences. We make it easy to invite, enroll, and monitor your students’ progress via LMS integration and the Stukent Instructor Portal. Once your students are enrolled, they’ll be ready to participate in the simulation. Every round is auto-graded, saving you hours of prep time.
- Auto-graded Assignments
Simternships integrate seamlessly with your curriculum and feature auto-graded sections to help you assess your students’ progress. You may use these sections to evaluate students’ knowledge, provide them with feedback and mentorship, and as a part of their final grades.
- Personalized Feedback
Students receive personalized feedback based on the decisions they make each round. They will be given scales of how they performed and can analyze from their successes and mistakes how to adjust in the upcoming rounds. This ensures greater learning retention and builds marketable career experience.
- Role-specific Training
Each Simternship provides hands-on training that immerses a student in the day-to-day tasks of a real-world role. Your students can step into the positions of marketing managers, PR officers, entrepreneurs, SEO specialists, and more, all in a safe, low-risk environment.
- Real-world Projects
Each Simternship includes real-world projects that are designed to be challenging, yet achievable. Students will be faced with internship-like tasks associated with the specific field of work. Students will perform tasks such as experience discovery calls as a business development representative, perform market research, ideate business products, develop an advertising mix, and much more.
- Semester-long Experience
A Simternship program typically lasts for one semester, allowing students to gain months of experience in a short amount of time. Plus, each Simternship is structured into rounds, which makes it easy to integrate with your course material.
