Remote Web Production Summer/Fall Internship: MassGeneral Hospital for Children
MassGeneral Hospital for Children is seeking an intern to assist with website production on www.massgeneralforchildren.org.
Qualifications: Some knowledge of HTML and willingness to learn new programs
Commitment: We do not require a minimum number of hours per week and work will be done remotely. However, because our hope is that interns will be able to complete meaningful projects, and because it takes a while to get things done in a large healthcare organization, we ask for a minimum six-month commitment. We’re not so much concerned with the number of hours you log in a cubicle—we are interested in skill development and we want you to be able to say something meaningful on your resume when the internship is completed.
Academic majors: All
Practicum: Working in templates in a content management system, the intern will edit web pages and create new web pages to help ensure the hospital's clinical services, research, and other programs are accurately represented. There are also opportunities to study how content types on massgeneral.org relate through taxonomy and recommend best practices to optimize visibility of pediatric services and to study and optimize site search as well as Find a Doctor and other systems.
Learning outcomes:
- Demonstrate and apply basic HTML/CSS skills.
- Apply professional communication and teamwork skills in working with professional clients.
- Apply critical thinking skills to optimize visibility in a complex website
- Apply existing design guidelines, brand standards, and standardized code to a project.
How to apply:
Please send resume and cover letter to Dave Ekrem, Manager, Digital Strategy and Web Development.
