Brief board · open to all students
Every brief here is posted by an employer right now. Some challenges sit inside university curricula. Others are open to any student anywhere — take one on independently, build your Industry Passport, get noticed by the company that set the brief.
No university required. Sign up, pick a challenge, do the work, earn your Industry Passport stamp.
Not every employer posts here. The ones that do are serious about finding talent — and serious about the work they set.
