Jumbos4Jumbos Sample Project and Submission Requirements
Thank you for partnering with the Tufts Career Center to offer virtual experiential opportunities to undergraduate students to gain valuable career-related project-based experience to add to their resumes.
Jumbos4Jumbos is hosted on our networking and mentoring community, The Herd. This will make the process seamless for students looking to view and access your projects. Alumni can self-manage the process through this portal and will be able to submit projects for review, manage and interview applicants, and close projects, as well as receive automated updates throughout each step of the process.
The project samples below will show you the various fields you will be asked to to include in your project submission. These fields will be required for submitting a project for review and approval by the Tufts Career Center. We recommend that you have all these details prepared in advance before submitting your project. Please provide as many details as possible about your specific project needs so that we can ensure you reach the right candidates for the role you are hoping to fill.
