Saskatoon’s Open Door Society – Women’s Business Hub

The Women’s Business Hub is a program under the Saskatoon Open Door Society which is designed to help women and refugee immigrants living in Saskatoon to break into the world of entrepreneurship. As an intern, one of the main focuses is to assist the Women’s Business Hub in developing effective and sustainable strategies that relate to any future investments given to the program in the future. Alongside this task, the Women’s Business Hub is also working to enhance an e-commerce platform that can be used by entrepreneurs to sell their products. A part of my job will be to assess consumer feedback analysis from the e-commerce platform while helping entrepreneurs get accustomed to the platform. This will lead to constantly trying to better and improve the e-commerce platform. The mix of supply chain management and entrepreneurship is also relevant, leading to me taking on responsibilities that are aimed to improve efficiency and reliability of resources while considering environmental factors. Given that all participating entrepreneurs in the program are from a variety of different backgrounds, the Women’s Business Hub classified it as an asset on top of business knowledge for the intern to have had previous exposure to these different groups. Having worked as a surveyor that was responsible for communicating with Syrian newcomers and refugees in their native tongue and a background in business strategy, I believe that I can add value to the Women’s Business Hub.
