The Gig-Hub program offers Davidson students the opportunity to engage in paid short-term real-world projects with a diverse range of clients. This project based work, a gig, lets you, the client, complete a new or ongoing project while allowing students to expand their skill set.
To hire a student, you can start the process by submitting your project below.
The Gig-Hub program works with a diverse range of clients — from startups, to independent contractors, to established organizations. Perhaps there is an immediate need for data analysis, market research or copywriting, among other skills, or a long range project you do not have the time to complete. Gig-Hub clients are Davidson College alumni, members of the local community, and businesses across the country. We want to work with you.
Tech Impact Fund
Through generous support from Whitney A. White, Davidson Belk Scholar ‘08 founder of Afara Global, creator of Take Back Your Time and co-founder of Equity Commons, the Hurt Hub has offered women and minority-owned businesses over 2,600 hours of pro bono Gig-Hub consultant time. We can offer up to 30 hours of pro bono work per project and/or company for those that identify as an underrepresented founder / business owner.
Gig-Hub student consultants are employees of Davidson College, but receive project assignments and direction from you, the client. Davidson College takes care of the paperwork and taxes, so you can focus on the gig. You will be invoiced monthly for actual hours worked on the project and the student will be paid every other week by Davidson College.
If you are a non-profit or public-sector organization seeking to collaborate with Davidson on projects, you are eligible for pro bono assistance through our Center for Civic Engagement. To learn more about their offerings and services, contact the CCE, or submit your project request here.
Davidson students bring a dynamic and fresh approach to projects due in part to their liberal arts education. A liberal arts education encourages students to see connections that result in new ideas for your projects. As a Gig-Hub client, you will benefit from a novel way of thinking as you work with your Gig-Hub consultant. Select an option below to read more.
Even in the digital age, the written word is still a primary way of communicating ideas. Projects may include writing for marketing materials, magazine articles, blog posts, website content or editing.
Sample Gigs:
Today, more than ever before, companies are leveraging data in critical decision-making, product development and marketing analysis. Many analytics projects will include visualizing, formatting, organizing and querying large datasets.
Sample Gigs:
Customer discovery and market analysis are essential to the success of any business, and one of the first steps in the process of starting a new business. A general researcher may be asked to determine market size for a product or service, broken down by demographic or geographic categories, or current market share for competitors.
Sample Gigs:
Good marketing requires strong communication and design skills, along with an intuitive sense for how to get the right message to the target audience. Students will utilize Adobe Creative Suite and Canva for online designs as well as various outreach channels to reach your target market.
Sample Gigs:
Startups that are just getting off the ground need help on everything: from strategy to marketing to data analysis. Work is often driven by the company’s highest priorities, not necessarily specific job titles/functions within a team.
Sample Gigs:
Companies are always looking to expand their markets, and this often means doing business in the global marketplace. Applicants are encouraged to submit writing samples in all languages for which they wish to be considered.
Sample Gigs:
Whether you are telling a story or selling a product, the visual arts can bring the process to life. Some projects will have very specific requirements for the work to be produced, others will have more space for the Gig-Hub consultant to express creativity.
Sample Gigs:
Every company, every organization, and every professional needs a web presence. Project descriptions will define the design, performance, technology and hosting requirements for the site, based on your needs as the client.
