GELP Leadership Camps – Marketing and Business Development

The Global Emerging Leadership Program (GELP) is addressing a crucial gap in providing early leadership, career planning, and educational guidance to high school students (Grades 10-12). The problem GELP aims to solve is the lack of structured, accessible programs that support students in making well-informed decisions about their future education, career paths, and scholarship opportunities. In today’s fast-paced and competitive global landscape, students often feel overwhelmed when it comes to choosing the right post-secondary programs, scholarships, or career directions.
Through the introduction of leadership camps, GELP is expanding its initiatives to help students develop resilience, informed decision-making, and critical thinking skills, ensuring they are better prepared to pursue higher education, trade schools, or other professional opportunities. These camps will serve as a safe and interactive platform where students can explore their interests, understand scholarship opportunities, and receive mentorship to help navigate their future decisions.
The intern will play a pivotal role in organizing and promoting these leadership camps. Their tasks will include managing logistics, fostering student engagement, promoting the program across digital and physical platforms, and leading various activities designed to help students navigate their educational and career paths.
