digital marketing project planning sales & marketing marketing strategy business strategyVirtual Internship Opportunity for MBA students: Bring on one or more students from the Vancouver-based University of Canada West (UCW) in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more business projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students are available from January to April .
After identifying a challenge, students propose ways to solve it and build a strategic plan. They present a video story outlining their activities, their contribution to the organization, analysis of the internship experience, and their recommendations for a solution to the challenge.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, virtual student placements are preferred. In-person student placements will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on local COVID-19 restrictions.

Project Examples
Requirements
Students can complete a specific business project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student and company a tangible goal.

- Accounting Analysis
- Economics for Managers
- Financial Management
- International Dimensions of Organizational Behaviour
- Business Enterprise Environment
- Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
- Marketing Strategy and Branding
