Well, we’re at the end of our first week for our Corporate
Service Corps assignment. Making good
progress. Lots of information gathered –
lots of information to digest and synthesize.
Our CSC team?
- Karen Fishwick - Canada
- Saikat Ray - India
- Lucy Castillion - Mexico
- Myself - US
Our project? Working
with the Attijariwafa bank Foundation on the re-envisioning of the Jamiati.ma portal.
The purpose of the foundation? To inform students, professors, and university
administrators. To provide news on education opportunities at the public universities,
scholarships, upcoming events, etc. To
help the students understand what programs are available at the various
universities. To provide students with information on employment or entrepreneurship opportunities.
Our tasks? We have
been asked to assess the current portal and to compare it against a set of portals from competitors. We're providing recommendations
on how to improve the portal including recommended implementation timeline.
The work has been interesting but at times a challenge. Working on a multi-cultural team in a multi-lingual environment makes
for some interesting conversations…
We have a great assignment.
- Our commute is short – roughly a 2-3 minute walk.
- Our host, Ms. Amina Benamar, is amazing. She’s gracious, knowledgeable, etc. She’s gone above and beyond what we would have expected to make us feel at home and welcome.
- Our assignment positively impacts the youth of Morocco.
- We have a great team. We work well together. We have complementary skills. We get along.
What more could we ask for?
