Content Marketing Intern

OPTT Health is an innovative digital mental health platform that offers comprehensive online treatment of behavioural health conditions, using clinically validated content and enabling efficient clinician oversight. OPTT’s vision is to dramatically improve the accessibility, affordability and effectiveness of behavioural health care. Our treatment platform bring innovation to the behavioural health field, and incorporates clinically validated treatment modules as well as AI analytic capabilities to support care delivery.

This project will is a critical strategic initiative for our company, involving revision and enhancement of our market strategy followed by the design and creation of an array of marketing communication deliverables needed for pursuit of market growth. We expect this project to have a meaningful impact on how we present our company to the market and ability to grow revenue and make our functionality available within healthcare, as well as improved messaging to the investment community, assisting with our fund-raising efforts.

Implementing Appropriate Mechanical Systems in the Construction of a Healthcare Unit in Canada

The intern’s project comprises an internship at a consulting firm in Canada. They will conduct research into mechanical systems, evaluating the best methods and materials that are to be implemented in the construction of a hospital. Through this project, the intern will increase their professional network, and the level of experience they have in the field of engineering. This will allow them to share their experiences and insight gained in an extremely competitive atmosphere, enabling future Cansbridge fellows to work in such companies, having gained an understanding of the work ethic and what to expect.

Pathways to Net-zero, Alternative Energy Systems for Drilling and Completions Operations

The research will involve identifying greenhouse gas reduction options for the oil and gas sector’s drilling and completions operations. Scope 1 emissions (i.e., emissions directly from operations) and scope 2 emissions (emissions from utility supplied power) will be tackled.
This will be done by looking into using utility supplied power to operate drilling rigs, using natural gas to power turbines which will provide electricity for fracturing fleets, utilizing natural gas powered pumps for fracturing, and design and installation of a mini solar farm to supplement electricity on site. These reduction options if implemented will help the organization on their path to achieve net-zero scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.

Design and implementation of behavioual interventions allowing individuals to critically evaluate online misinformation consistently

Online misinformation is a threat to Canada’s democratic processes, economic activities and public health. Individuals need to be empowered to critically evaluate the online information they consume in a consistent manner, otherwise, they will fall victim to manipulation, deception, polarization, radicalization, etc, efforts from malicious cyber actors. The intern will review the latest findings from behavioural science and incorporate those to design alternative conceptual solutions that can consistently nudge people to think critically about digital media until critical thinking becomes their second nature. The intern will prototype the best solution and gather feedback for further improvement. The project aligns with the Cansbrige Fellowship’s high-level goal to strengthen the business engagement between Canada and Asia by inculcating critical thinking to business-related information among members of the Canadian business communities.
