Student goals and capabilities

Virtual Internship Opportunity for MBA students: Bring on one or more students from the Vancouver-based University of Canada West (UCW) in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more business projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools. Students are available from April to July.

After identifying a challenge, students propose ways to solve it and build a strategic plan. They present a video story outlining their activities, their contribution to the organization, analysis of the internship experience, and their recommendations for a solution to the challenge.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, virtual student placements are preferred. In-person student placements will be considered on a case-by-case basis, depending on local COVID-19 restrictions.

Project Examples

Students can complete a specific business project for your organization over the placement period. We suggest providing a starting project, but as the placement goes on there may be other duties or projects the student is asked to complete as well. Providing a central project creates structure for the internship, and gives the student and company a tangible goal.

Students in UCW's MBA program have completed the following courses:

  • Accounting Analysis
  • Economics for Managers
  • Financial Management
  • International Dimensions of Organizational Behaviour
  • Business Enterprise Environment
  • Enterprise Resource Planning Systems
  • Marketing Strategy and Branding
  • Operations and Supply Chain Management
  • Strategic Leadership Capstone
  • Business Analytics
  • Human Resources

Project examples could include, but are not limited to:

  • Business Analyst
  • Corporate Risk Management
  • Corporate Social Responsibility
  • Market Research
  • Operations
  • Social Media Marketing
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:

Student interviews are a mandatory part of the program. The course admins will forward student details to you so that you can set up interviews.

Provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer periodic emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.

Be available for a quick phone call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the course.
