communication data analysis researchLooking to elevate your business, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from the College of the North Atlantic in Newfoundland and Labrador in the Office Administration Executive Diploma Program to be your virtual interns, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one or more projects of your choosing over the internship period, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.
Students in this program are poised to succeed in the integrated work areas of office administration, and as they are in their final semester they bring forth a wealth of knowledge that would be invaluable to your company.
Students are required to complete 180 hours of placement between May 10th, 2021 to June 18th, 2021. However, if alternate start and end dates are more convenient, that may be arranged.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, student placements will only occur virtually.
Learners
Deliverables will vary depending on the scope of the internship. However, these deliverables must be discussed and agreed upon prior to the start of the internship.
Project Examples
Requirements
Students can complete a substantial 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.
Project examples that students can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- Produce all types of business documents (e.g., memos, letters, reports, new letters, tables, invoices, charts) using advanced functions in word processing software.
- Conduct research; analyze and present relevant data for use in a business environment.
- Independently organize and manage the activities of an administrative workplace environment for effective performance.
- Manage and control records from their creation to their final storage.
- Record financial transactions using generally accepted accounting principles for use in a business environment.
