Student Guide

Students can play a significant role at data intermediaries, organizations that provide data and analytic services to their community. NNIP Partners and similar organizations can successfully involve students in the provision of community data services by assessing opportunities for student involvement, developing a recruitment strategy, designing an onboarding process, guiding student performance, and encouraging retention and ongoing relationships.
