Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Will you be available for a quick phone/virtual call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the experience.

Will you provide a dedicated contact person who is available for weekly/bi-weekly drop-ins to address learners’ questions as well as periodic messages over the duration of the project.

How is your project relevant to students learning about policies related to gender and crime?

How much flexibility do you have to tailor an experience between your company and the instructor?
