Business Strategy Internship

COVID-19 has required significant adaptations to the Partner Organization’s regular business operations and comes at a time when its future is less clear as the CEO seeks an exit strategy. Recommendations on both how to manage a strategic reexamination of its business functions, as well as possible exit strategies will be provided in the Capstone Project Report to the CEO. However, this Mitacs opportunity will allow me to further assist in carrying out these initiatives. This will also be an invaluable experience for my future career. It also allows me to apply my Business Management skills acquired at the Smith School of Business in assisting a Canadian CEO who is looking to repatriate an overseas business operation to Canada, in a severely turbulent economic environment and without any other government or social assistance on which she can count. This internship will be completed part-time while completing my second year of Graduate Studies at Queen’s University, as well as over the Summer months when there are no courses.
