Virtual Internship Opportunity: Business Development

Our Mission: “To be an internationally recognized model of educational excellence and innovation. We are fostering the next generation of business leaders who are critical thinkers, demonstrate inclusivity, and aspire to make a positive impact in their communities.” The primary focus for the student will be: Branding - cobrand the Illuminate Leadership Curriculum with high school student clubs across the country and coordinate Illuminate university "buddies" to teach the curriculum. Marketing Communications - work with the Marketing and Communications Manager to push out content, develop KPIs for recruitment, and activate funnels to generate more qualified Illuminate Leadership Academy applicants. Partnerships - develop meaningful mini co-op curriculums with contacts you already have in your network to grow the Illuminate corporate partnership family.

Training Module Development

We want to be known as an organization that values the development of our people. To assist us in this goal, we would like to collaborate with students to design training programs. We have an idea of areas where training could be implemented, but we would also appreciate insight on recommended training and development areas. The main goal is for students develop a fully functional training course for our business partners.

Podcast Production

Podcasting is a rapidly growing content medium, with a highly localized consumership. Working with students, we would like to take advantage of the trend and create a season of our own podcast. We would like for students to deliver a 5-episode podcast series, based on our outcome objectives. Students will get the chance to interview successful leaders, get trained to ask insightful questions and use their digital media skills to edit and publish the podcast on behalf of Illuminate.

Newsletter Development and Publishing

We think this project will include: Creating a weekly newsletter with helpful information so readers feel inspired Creating and soliciting materials to be published. Determining the features of a publication. Setting and enforcing deadlines. Making a final determination about what will be published in an issue. Coordinating frequency of publication. Overseeing all operations of a publication. Working with alumni to write meaningful stories and sharing them
