The CONNECT Program at the University of Texas at Austin is seeking input from the public to determine interest in its consulting services within the private sector. The program, which has been operational for five years, specializes in research, data analytics, and visualization consulting. It connects skilled PhD and master’s student consultants with organizations that have short-term project needs.
Unlike traditional internships, CONNECT operates as a consultancy providing significant impact with minimal involvement from participating organizations. To date, it has matched 320 projects and delivered over $2.7 million worth of deliverables to 168 organizations across Texas and beyond.
Those interested in contributing insights to shape the future direction of the program are encouraged to complete a brief survey. For further inquiries or information about engaging with the UT-CONNECT program, individuals can contact alyssa.studer@austin.utexas.edu.
