Whiz Trainer Inc

The Whiz Trainer skating aid can revolutionize the skating industry by encouraging more children to get involved in the sport of ice skating. The technology was developed in Newfoundland and is being manufactured on a small scale. In terms of the technology, children can learn as young as 2 years old can skate with ease and safety and without fear. With the Whiz Trainer, a child will actually enjoy his or her time on the ice and will want to keep coming back to learn how to skate. The technology provides a new approach to how children learn to skate. We need innovation and expertise in numerous aspects of the business, including manufacturing analysis – and sales and marketing.We have developed the product and it is being sold but we are missing expertise on how we are going to manufacture it (scale-up) especially in light of the pandemic and disrupted manufacturing and supply chains. This project has a dual focus and we have identified 2 business interns with complimentary skills to help us in both areas.
