Student Applied Benchmarking
STUDENTS: Do you have an idea for improving your college or your community?
Participate in Student Applied Benchmarking (SAB) at Wake Tech! Become a change maker, have an impact, engage in social entrepreneurship, and develop 21st-century skills. You might even win a $1,000 scholarship!
SAB is the student component of Wake Tech’s Applied Benchmarking initiative for employees. Students identify a problem to solve or a process to improve, contact an expert to research best practices, and create an innovative proposal for change.
Your Student Benchmarking Project will include:
- identifying an issue you’d like to address or a problem you’d like to solve,
- conducting research to find others who have successfully addressed or solved it,
- contacting and interviewing them (individuals, other schools, businesses, etc.) to learn about their methods,
- developing a plan for implementing the idea or solution,
- compiling information, and
- submitting your project.
