Mary England – Sparking the Interest of Canada’s Youth in Sustainability within Advanced Manufacturing and Entrepreneurship.

The intern will take part in a multifaceted project surrounding sustainability in industry and clean advancements in advanced manufacturing techniques within a multitude of different sectors. The intern will perform an in-depth study on Canada’s status regarding advanced manufacturing and utilize social media platforms to relay novel information to promote interest, engagement and an entrepreneurial spirit in these topics among youth. In turn, the partner organization’s (Cansbridge Fellowship) network will gain increased interest and expand, allowing for furthering of the mission to bridge Canada’s innovation knowledge, manufacturing, capital and capability to the global stage with business on an international level. The academic supervisor (Dr. Joseph McDermid) will provide guidance and expertise on advanced manufacturing and future advancements in industry. The partner organization will provide ongoing support and mentorship through the capable network of successful entrepreneurs and innovators. The intern will emphasize outreach and recruitment within content delivery for the partner organization (Cansbridge Fellowship) to promote the program and foster innovation within Canada’s youth while incorporating excellence in knowledge, leadership, mentorship and entrepreneurship for the Cansbridge Fellowship program.
