Our organization is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for 1 computer science student or team.
The primary focus for the student will be: (please include a few examples of technology projects you would like the student(s) to execute during the placement, as exemplified below. Where applicable, please indicate tools/platforms the student(s will be using to complete their work for you.)
- Application Development - Selecting the best technologies for creating the application or feature (i.e. creating a quiz); creating a fully-functioning application.
- Specifics of the Work:
We have a SaaS business acceleration platform, based on the Sunday Times best-selling book, Powered By Change. The platform is used by business coaches to help enhance theirs clients business. The purpose of this project is to create a simple quiz, that we can embed into our website in the Coaches area, so they can send the quiz to potential clients and get the results back. We use WordPress and also Elementor. We have created similar quizzes using 3rd party software, such as Thrive. However, none of the providers actually have the ability for coaches to send the quiz to unique clients and get the results back.
This is an assessment (or quiz) coaches can send to prospective clients as part of their funnel process
- It has 43 questions. Each question has 5 answers - with scores for each answer ranging from 1 to 5
Each question is assigned a category of either:
- Purpose
- People
- Product
- Process
Based on the scores of the answers the area most in need of improvement is identified. What we would like is for coaches to be able to:
- Send a link to the assessment for a prospective client to complete
- Have the results emailed to the coach that sent the assessment (and not to the client - but rather a “Thank you the person who referred you will be in contact to discuss your results”)
- Based on the answers given, identify the highest priority area to focus on
Ideally we’d like to be able to have a unique assessment link available for each coach and BDM in the Coaches or BDMs resources pages that they can click on to send to someone to complete and then for them to get the results back. Or someway to uniquely identify the coach sending the assessment so they get emailed (using the email they’ve selected for their account). The best approach would need to be determined.
The coaches would like to be able to see the answers for each question and get the overall results. However, we would need to capture the name and email of the person completing the quiz -> or make the coaches add that info before sending the assessment so they know who each assessment is completed by.
Our goal at the end of this experience is: (please indicate the goal for this placement, or deliverable you expect the student(s) to complete, as exemplified below)
- Application Development - For the student(s) to create a fully functioning application.
Other duties the student may complete could include: (indicate other duties as exemplified below)
- Unit and integration testing
We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools: (list expected channels - eg. Riipen messaging, company slack, email)
Email
Zoom
Trello

About the company

- Business services, Business & management
Our company is a SaaS business acceleration platform. The methodology is based on the Sunday Times best-selling book Powered By Change. It is a platform coaches can use with clients, in real-time, to help them assess, evaluate and enhance their business on an ongoing basis. To assist coaches with on-boarding new potential clients, we want to create a quiz they can send out to prospects to complete that helps identify the key area's of focus initially. We would like for each coach to have the ability to send the quiz, preferably a link via email, and to get the results back. Each coach should only have access to quizzes completed by the people they send the quiz to directly.
