Diagnostic sectoriel et portrait des entrepreneurs forestiers au Québec

Les dirigeants de petites et moyennes entreprises forestières, aussi appelés entrepreneurs forestiers, sont au coeur du réseau de création de valeur du secteur forestier au Québec. Il s’avère important d’actualiser nos connaissances sur le sujet, car la situation du secteur forestier a grandement évolué depuis le début des année 2010, par exemple le secteur fait face à une pénurie criante d’entrepreneurs et de travailleurs qui met en péril la performance des usines et de l’aménagement des forêts au Québec.
Ce projet propose la mise en place d’une étude rigoureuse mettant à contribution les méthodes scientifiques qui permettront de mettre à jour nos connaissances des problématiques de main-d’oeuvre et d’emploi du secteur forestier ainsi que d’identifier un plan d’action en entrepreneuriat forestier. À la clé, un tel projet contribuera au développement de stratégies favorisant un réseau de création de valeur plus performant pour l’ensemble de la filière forestière canadienne.

Activity recognition and workload estimation algorithm development using the Kinetyx SI insole system

Smart devices can allow active individuals to monitor their training workload in order to reduce injuries and improve performance. However, many devices are geared towards a single activity, which limits their impact. Kinetyx recently developed an insole with multiple sensors that can be worn within a shoe while performing many activities. Using this insole, we will develop algorithms that identify different activities and provide feedback on the workload from those activities. Creating algorithms to turn the Kinetyx insole into a smart insole has the potential to reduce overuse injury risks and improve performance so that people can stay active and healthy.

Project Coordinator

Recently, I applied to the Project Coordinator Internship at TalentClick to contribute to the company to achieve maximum growth in the new global business environment by working on various projects and providing support to the sales, marketing, and operations teams. As a Marketing manager in three different industries, I had the opportunity to coordinate and implement in a successful manner several marketing projects and events from inception to completion. However, my 6 years’ experience has been built only in the marketing and sales departments of the companies. Thus, I believe that participating in this Internship program at TalentClick I will acquire experiential skills in a new department, other than Marketing and Sales because I will be working directly with the Operations department of TalentClick and I am sure that this will be a very enriching experience.

Business Strategy Internship

Verity Common Inc. – Digital Transformation Intern

As part of the student’s on-boarding process, we will undertake a strategic analysis of the current business as it stands on that day (e.g., SWOT, PESTEL). From there, the Intern will participate in on-going work that will test the strategic directions we identify together, in order to determine what we should do moving forward. This Internship is by its nature strategic – we’re looking to reimagine our business and where it’s headed. This may be a small pivot, or it may be redeveloping ourselves in a totally new way to do a totally different kind of work. We remain open to where our testing takes us. The Intern will contribute to investigating and identifying the future course of our business – an important and frankly critical contribution. Contributions will include:
+Conducting foundational research on digital transformation opportunities (including in-field marketing and advertising experiments)
+Prepare digital transformation plan
+Create brand and digital marketing elements for chosen strategies and new areas of business (e.g., design, web, social, etc.)

Canadian Tax Foundation Business Strategy Internship

The Foundation is embarking this fall on an update to its strategic plan, the importance of which has been highlighted by the ongoing pandemic. The first step in this exercise, and the project for the intern, will be a survey of the economic impact upon professional services in Canada, with a focus on taxation. We want to better understand how our members (primarily law and accounting firms) have responded and the best methods for the Foundation to continue to provide services that add value and support them. This market research will be supplemented by in-depth interviews with a subset of members of the Foundation to better understand the current environment.
