With its roots in Teacher Training, it is now a community reflecting the full range of subjects, disciplines and vocations offered within the University. Communicating within and externally about our community is central to making sure people are informed about who we are, what we do and the opportunities that we offer. We particularly want to refresh and update our web presence so that current, and especially prospective students, their families and supporters, alumni and external partners and friends, have an engaging, up-to-date and easily accessible source of information about us. We have therefore created an opportunity for a current student member of College to take on a paid internship working with us to achieve this. This opportunity will appeal to students who have some experience and a keen interest in developing the content and structure of websites, who can write well online for the audiences listed above, and who brings creative flair to web presentation, layout and associated, embedded media. The successful student will have opportunity to be involved refreshing and updating existing College webpage content, creating new content, including text, images and videos, and to work closely with the College Management Team and hence better understand and develop skills in project delivery. This opportunity allows to yo produce material evidence of your contribution to web-based communications for public consumption.%26nbsp;%3C/span%3E%3Cspan style=%22mso-bidi-font-family%5C:%26quot;Times New Roman%26quot;;mso-spacerun%5C:yes;%22%3E%26nbsp;%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22background-color%5C:white;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22mso-ansi-language%5C:EN-US;%22 lang=%22EN-US%22%3E%3Cstrong%3ERole Responsibilities%3C/strong%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%3Cp class=%22MsoNormal%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22background-color%5C:white;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22mso-ansi-language%5C:EN-US;%22 lang=%22EN-US%22%3EUnder instruction from colleagues in the College and supported with appropriate training as may be necessary in the University’s chosen web platform (T3), our Web Communication Intern will%5C:%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/p%3E%3Cul style=%22margin-top%5C:0cm;%22 type=%22disc%22%3E%3Cli class=%22MsoNormal%22 style=%22mso-list%5C:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops%5C:list 36.0pt;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22background-color%5C:white;%22%3E%3Cspan style=%22mso-ansi-language%5C:EN-US;%22 lang=%22EN-US%22%3EDevelop and maintain internal and external webpages associated with the College.
