1. Introduction

Kick off the internship journey by forming a virtual company, understanding business fundamentals, and developing self-awareness as a future professional.

The AgriMocks virtual or e-internship is scheduled for 6 consecutive weeks. Each week you will meet online with your "boss", who is a real-life entrepreneur in your virtual company. You will collaborate with peers from all over the word, who act as your colleagues. You will define roles in a company and understand how teams function.

During the mentor-led sessions you will be reflecting on your personal strengths, values, and intercultural teamworking style. 

The MOOC provides you with useful background knowledge on the online platform, which you can access at your own time and convenience for self-paced learning. There you can explore the basic components of a business model and practice putting together a business model canvas. The MOOC also provides opportunities to test your knowledge and learning progress. 

By the end of this first week you should be able to navigate the virtual co-working space and use the online communication tools effectively. You  should also be able to describe how your virtual company creates, delivers, and captures value. 

We hope you will enjoy every part of your e-internship and allow yourself to discover, learn, and contribute as much as possible to the shared learning experience. Have fun!
