To be clear, the internship isn't like most others. We initially created this internship to build core competency assets. It has evolved into a teaching program for graduate students and others interested in entering the field of instructional design. This program is designed to develop outstanding instructional designers. Interns learn while developing a course for KeelWorks. They can put this experience on their resume as instructional design experience. Most instructional designers have a master's degree in instructional design or a master's of Education. This isn't required for the internship, but helpful for employment. Many are transitioning teachers. As interns complete learning on instructional design, they also develop content. There are process documents for every phase of design/development. Interns will learn to use Photoshop, Audition, and Captivate (and/or Storyline) to build scenarios, simulations, quizzes, and roll-overs. To benefit from this internship, interns should be able to give five hours a week to the program, and that time should be spread over the week. Interns gain confidence in their ability to support instructional design projects. This confidence serves them well in the job interview. If you respond to this opportunity, to receive an intern agreement. Read it carefully, and if you choose to agree, complete the fields and email thomas.garrod@keelworks.org to request a time to meet.

The incumbent in this position coordinates all social media activity with the foundation's mission, values, and strategy. This person should have experience thinking strategically. They should have an understanding of brand strategy or be able to learn it. They should have some understanding of media design, as it applies to social media. They need to be good at coordinating, facilitating, inspiring, and assigning tasks to a team. They should be patient with volunteers (you've heard of herding cats?). Some experience in project management would be good as well, though it isn't required.

We need individuals skilled in tools like Photoshop and/or Illustrator with the ability to support the abstract concepts with visuals. The immediate need is for someone to help with developing visuals to represent concepts like critical thinking, communication, self-identity, and assertiveness. We also need support for social media communication and for our website revision. A volunteer could accept a single project or be a lasting member of the foundation in this role. Our mission is to support the economically challenged. We help them with core competency development, such as team building, developing a constructive self image, problem-solving, and goal development/achievement. This volunteer role is especially helpful for graphic artists with a portfolio of their art, but no actually experience addressing an organization's visual needs. Of course, we are also happy to gain the support of experienced graphic artists.

The KeelWorks Foundation is a 501(3)(c) approved non-profit foundation dedicated to changing learning outcomes. We bring learners together, teach core learning competencies and learning values, we help them identify goals, we provide metrics for progress on goals, and we provide a virtual support structure for implementation. KeelWorks has a core of volunteers, but no paid staff and no funds. Volunteers participate for two reasons: They believe in the mission, and they want to advance their career. KeelWorks gives volunteers a chance to practice in the role they would like to pursue as a career. We have graduate level instructional designers without experience building learning content for KeelWorks. In return, KeelWorks allows them to put this experience on their resume as a job. We provide a job reference and speak to prospective employers without discussing work capacity or pay.
