Our consulting firm is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for 1-3 students.

What is the main goal for the project?

The primary focus for the student will be: Identifying and writing business plans, market research reports, and grant funding application packages for Canadian companies.

The students will have the opportunity work directly with our clients and be exposed to industries such as tech and software development, agriculture, and manufacturing.

In addition, there will be opportunities along the way to research improvements in our processes, such as:

• Strategy - Develop an implementation plan for entering a new market; develop a go-to-market strategy for new products or services; identify new funding and grant opportunities and write proposals.
• Operations - Recommend process improvements or redesign processes; develop improvements to supply chain processes to be more responsive to changes in demand; introduce quality assurance into our internal processes; redesign incentive structures to improve employee performance and engagement.
• Marketing - Complete a full customer, competitor, market, and environmental analysis; complete a marketing strategy review; design a new marketing strategy (product, place, price, and promotion); conduct overhaul of our branding or communication strategy.
• Sales - Design a new/improved prospecting process for our sales team; design a new/improved pricing or service structure.
• Talent - Design a new/improved recruitment process; develop a diversity and inclusion strategy; design a new/improved employee engagement program with survey mechanisms.
