(VFC Project) Careerin Tech Online Career Fair - Marketing + Event Planning
PROJECT DESCRIPTIONCareerin Tech Society is a non-profit that helps people develop their careers in the tech sector.Careerin is organizing online career fairs to connect tech talents open for new jobs and tech companies that are hiring and we also invite tech professionals to share career insights or best practices in different topics. Careerin is using videos and online events to help candidates learn more about tech companies, their mission, culture, and people in the teams so they can find the companies that they are aligned with. During the online career fair, companies will have founders or hiring managers that talk about what their companies are about in videos and they will have online meeting sessions with candidates that are interested in joining them.Candidates can create a self-intro video on our platform that can be accessed by the companies that they are interested in, so they can tell their stories in person in the video instead of being another resume in the pile.The career insights sessions can help students or people that are new to the tech industry to learn about the different career paths, while the best practices sessions are good for professional development and experience sharing with their peers in the tech industry.Venture for Canada Intrapreneurs will help us in organizing and running our monthly Careerin Tech online event.HOW MANY STUDENT INTRAPRENEURS WILL THIS PROJECT ACCOMMODATE? 5TIME COMMITMENT PER STUDENT: 70 hoursKEY PROJECT ACTIVITIESEvent planning and managementMarketing and promotionOutreach to potential tech companies and professionalsIDEAL ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES:* Roles include:Event sessions host - Identify and recruit speakers to share career insights or other topics in their roles (HR/Marketing/Sales/Software Engineering etc), host these online sessions by introducing their speakers if it's a webinar or interviewer if it's a fireside chat interviewJob fair organizer - Reach out to tech companies that are hiringMarketing + PR - Event promotion in our social media channels, other tech communities, and tech mediasSponsorship - Reach out to potential sponsors to secure sponsorship for our events (professional firms, tech companies, etc)FINAL PROJECT DELIVERABLES:Organizing and running our monthly Careerin Tech online eventPROJECT MENTOR NAME: Kenneth Ip - CEO of Careerin Tech Society
