SCHOLARSHIP RESEARCH:As a private corporation who also identifies as an educational institution, we have approval from the Federal government to issue tuition tax receipts for our courses. We would also like to set up a scholarship fund and/or partner with a university to offer a scholarship for our programs to their students. This is a research project to understand what our options are and to help us understand the process necessary. It will require outreach with various levels of government as well as post-secondary institutions and should result in a project plan for implementation.· As a young, small, and nimble organization, we are interested in aligning the role with Intern's specific career goals for a win-win collaborative approach· We appreciate where our strengths lie and value the expertise that an intern will bring; Intern will work remotely and as independently as their capability suggests with guidance/autonomy suited to their current skills· Intern will have opportunity to learn general business skills and entrepreneurial skills, such as creating presentations, proposals, and business cases· We offer live and on demand training and coaching to advance our client’s individual and business goals through holistic professional presentation skills (whether they are presenting in a traditional sense in person or whether they are showing up online, digitally, in print, or otherwise) – a transformational learning opportunity for leaders and those aspiring to join the ranks (Intern will learn how to fast-track their career with, as an example, interviewing, negotiation and networking strategies)KEY PROJECT ACTIVITIES/TÂCHES ASSOCIÉES AU PROJET:Research scholarship programs through the perspective of youth lensResearch institutional alignment in relation to a shiftED scholarship programIDEAL ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES/RÔLES/RESPONSABILITÉS:* Collect and analyze dataOutreach communications with appropriate levels of government and post-secondary institutionsResearch and document the process required for setting up and maintaining a scholarship programFINAL PROJECT DELIVERABLES/LIVRABLES DU PROJET:Provide a report of findings, including SWOT analysis, and recommendation of next steps
