How the internship works

As an Intern, you will learn some marketing fundamentals and how to manage social media for a business which you will practice in your Host-Business or Charity 2 days a week. You will also have 3 days of in-person sessions with the other youth, where you will learn from our professional marketing consultant and other guest speakers, put your skills to work for your Host-business or Charity, and get 1-on-1 coaching sessions to support you in your personal and professional goals.

As a Host-Business or Charity, your SkillCraft intern will work on your business or charity 2 days a week for 6 weeks this summer. During this time, you would mentor them while they help you develop and share social media content during the internship. The idea is a give & give experience where you get help with your social media while giving a young person exposure to your work, industry and to the working world itself. As part of the programme, you get a marketing strategy training session prior to the program.
