  • Defining a server management and security plan for the hosted product as a SaaS product (project management, IT, Cybersecurity, etc. )

Deliverables

As this is a general project that will have tailored outcomes per student or per class, we're going to keep these very high level.


Learners must realize that this is indeed a work-integrated-learning opportunity. You will be integrated into our communication platforms and will work alongside our team members. This will include Google Workspace, Slack, etc.


The placements are 100% remote and can be done from anywhere in the world (except for anything IT related - for those roles you must be within Canada). Spoken and written English skills are essential for this placement.


You should expect to have regular meetings online to complete this work.


Students must have access to a computer and high-speed internet.


Mentorship

Students will be provided with a full suite of tools to complete this project and any relevant upskilling or training that may be required for any knowledge gaps.


Students will have access to staff for regular meetings on the project progress, and to discuss questions or concerns.

You may know me from some of the other organizations and projects that I'm a part of on this platform.

Here at JR&CO, we're all about lifting each other up. We believe in leading from the back, cheering you on every step of the way. It's not about tooting our own horn; it's about empowering you to learn, grow, and reach your fullest potential. We're also super proud to be a female-led agency that celebrates diversity and inclusion. As a woman of colour and a member of a minority group, it is truly in our DNA to ensure that all voices and experiences are heard and valued.

We're on the hunt for some bright and talented students from all over the world through the Riipen platform. We can't wait to collaborate with the next generation of leaders and changemakers and continue making a positive impact in our communities. Watch for some special projects that are great opportunities for you to build your portfolio and gain meaningful experience. We can't wait to see what we can achieve together!

Here are some broad areas of focus for us in 2024:

- Online marketplaces
- UN SDGs and how they relate within various industries
- Healthy aging at every age
- Sociology and Psychology in their relation to policy, advocacy, and marketing
- All things food; agriculture, manufacturing, processing, preparing and serving, packaging, selling, marketing and everything else in between
- Content strategies that are tailored for various audiences and mapping out those customer journeys
- A lot of work *really* digging into conversion rates, acquisition and retention
- Working with small businesses (with lots of ❤️) making their dreams a reality - while also achieving longer term sustainability

Whether you're an individual student looking for a great work experience, or a professor looking to a great partner for your class challenge, we're here for it. Drop us a line.
