Google Form Conversion for Entrepreneurs
Our organization is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for 3-4 business students. The Entrepreneur Roadmap (TERM) is an online suite of DIY tools for entrepreneurs to learn the fundamentals of how to start and grow a business. TERM has garnered interest internationally from South Africa, to Northern and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, across Canada and more. We are in transitioning the tools from Word Documents and Excel sheets into Google Forms. The primary focus for the student will be: The main role is converting training forms from MS Word and Excel into Google Forms. Communications  - The forms need to capture the questions required but also have a comprehensive flow and user friendly feel. Marketing  - These tools are used for entrepreneurs of all levels and several languages. Clarity is key. Design and user experience are vital. Complete a full customer, competitor, market, and environmental analysis; complete a marketing strategy review; design a new marketing strategy (product, place, price, and promotion); conduct overhaul of our branding or communication strategy. Our goal at the end of this experience is: Global Reach - These forms will allow us a more seamless integration with entrepreneurs and entrepreneur ecosystems internationally. Sales  - Having these forms completed will allow us to start charging a small subscription fee. Other duties the student may complete could include : (indicate other duties as exemplified below) Any research needed to make the forms more valuable to those filling them in. Create presentation decks and assist with presentations to key stakeholders. If you are interested in Entrepreneurship, this is a prime opportunity to learn. We run a Business Accelerator, help entrepreneurs in developing countries through microloans, and are working to democratize entrepreneurship worldwide. We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools: Ideal channels are text, email, zoom. We are very responsive.
