Employ your students
in a Simternship

The easiest way to increase engagement and academic outcomes in your course

A Stukent Simternship allows students to apply the concepts they learn in your class to real-world professional scenarios. A Simternship can increase student engagement, help students develop marketable skills, and prepare your students for the workforce.

Virtual work-integrated learning

In a Simternship, students step into real-world roles. They interact with simulated supervisors and coworkers, perform realistic tasks, and build their confidence in the safety of a simulated environment.

“Stukent’s innovative Simternships provided me with an invaluable opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to real-world scenarios, which helped my understanding of marketing practices and significantly boosted my confidence in the process."

Immersive, authentic experiences

Simternships treat students like professionals, asking them to apply new knowledge to real-world problems. This level of immersion increases student engagement, knowledge transfer to real-world scenarios, and long-term retention of information.

“Simulation-based learning offers learning with an approximation of practice, allows limitations of real-life learning to be overcome, and can be an effective approach to develop complex skills”

(Chernikova, et al., p. 502).

Real results

With a Simternship, students can see the professional applications of their coursework from the first day of class. Students receive immediate feedback on their work, helping to correct misconceptions before they are encoded into long-term memory.

93.5% of business students at Kennebec Valley Community College passed an introductory accounting course after using the Stukent Financial Accounting Simternship — a 345% increase in the pass rate!

By implementing the simulation, the instructors at Kennebec Valley had 4.5 times more students pass their courses.

“I've got two students who are currently working at one of Ad Age's top agencies in the world. The sole reason they got their job — the only PPC experience they had — was the Stukent Digital Marketing Simternship. If you're a digital marketing professor … and you're not giving this gift to your students, I genuinely believe you're doing a disservice to them. I really do.”

“The Simternship allows great advantage for hands-on learning for our students. I can give them a real budget and let them play with money. … They get a taste of what it's really like. … It is my goal to give them more real-life experience as opposed to theoretical experience in class when I can. And the Simternship makes it easy for me to offer [it to] them.’

“I've had several students over the past two years in particular … put the Simternship on their resume. They can put the tangible quantitative results from their Simternship. [Students] talk about [the Simternship] in the interview, and then that helps to land them a position, especially in social media marketing.”

“Students have always provided great comments on course evaluations about how the content's up to date, simulations are really interactive, and it's really brought the content to life. So overall, it's been really a good way to bring the modern way we're doing in marketing to the classroom.”
Matthew BieberAssistant Professor, Albright College

“[The Simternships] made [my courses] more realistic. Students are commenting that the classes that I'm using the simulations in, that they're the most realistic classes that they've had, in their college careers. And I take that as a compliment even though it's not really me doing it. It's really Stukent bringing that to the table. … [It gets] those students ready to be day one prepared, day one ready, day one contributors at their job when they graduate.”

"As a student, I often feel that I do not get enough real-world examples while in the classroom. However, I did not realize that it would be different than platforms such as McGraw Hill Connect and Cengage. Working with Stukent quickly taught me that it was going to gain more real-world experience than I had ever done in previous classes."

"I have the Simternship to thank for opening my eyes up to the possibilities of a fulfilling career bridging the seemingly disparate aspects of my personality and skills. I remember calling my dad at one point last semester and telling him how shocked I was to figure out I enjoyed logistics. … He reminded me that the best careers come from merging your passions and aptitudes, and I owe it to Stukent for leading me to the discovery of that overlap."
