First Phase of Implementation
The first phase of implementation of the portal has been
completed. This phase allows students to view internship
opportunities related to the TEAm majors. The TEAm portal
database is populated by using an RSS data feed or XML data
feed to import the relevant job listings from the three
institutional databases.
Second Phase of Implementation
This phase, still under development, will allow students to
submit applications and upload their resumes. The target date
for finishing this phase is May 5, with plans for further
enhancement and a pilot testing of the portal by the end of May
