Our team is looking for a technologically savvy student who can help us prepare for our upcoming Canadian Rural and Remote Housing and Homelessness Symposium! No previous experience with these platforms is needed, just the ability to learn them quickly. The student will:

• Develop webinars to train presenters, moderators, sponsors, and staff on the use of Zoom and the Pheedloop conference platform;
• Develop easy to use and understand tutorial documents for presenters, moderators, and sponsors to reference when navigating Pheedloop & Zoom;
• Develop tutorials and information for our staff members for the day-of event management, and key features.

The student may deliver/record the training webinars, or an RDN staff member may deliver them depending on the timeline.

Virtual events have become a necessity during COVID, and the trend of virtual events will continue into the future. Through this role, the student will gain valuable experience in the virtual event space, with both digital skills and overall event coordination. Becoming familiar with the inner workings of a virtual event platform is a valuable skill that can be transferred to other organizations and events. Developing training materials is also an opportunity to improve writing and communication skills, and presenting information in a clear and concise way. If the student is able to be the “presenter” to record/deliver the training webinars, they will gain presentation and public speaking experience. All of these items will contribute to a smooth and successful event.

The student is not required to have previous experience with Zoom or Pheedloop to deliver this project. For a tech-savvy student, these platforms are easy to use and to learn, and they can do that as part of the project.

Deliverables:

1. Four training webinars for the conference (for speakers, moderators, sponsors, and staff, which have slightly different features within the platform).
2. Four stand-alone one-page documents with tutorials/key information.

As your supervisor, it is our responsibility to make sure that you are not only giving your 100%, but that you're also getting as much value back during the duration of the project.

We will make sure that you have as much (or as little) assistance as you would need in the projects you pursue. To do that, we will ensure to work with you to set out clear expectations, evaluations and assessments of your work, and support you in meeting and completing the various milestones and tasks as part of the project.

What you can expect from us:

• Provide guidance
• Clearly set out expectations
• Provide feedback
• Are accessible
• Provide supportive environment
• Open environment for questions big and small
