To be clear, the internship isn't like most others. We initially created this internship for a quid pro quo way to build the foundation assets. It has evolved into a teaching program for graduate students and others interested in entering the field of instructional design. Since most students of instructional design lack experience, they face two significant challenges: learning is theoretical, so retention and understanding suffer. Students learn in a random pattern, while what we do in instructional design is mostly sequential. Students lack a clear understanding of process. We teach process and encourage interns to study visual layout and cognitive learning theory. A master's degree in instructional design or any other field is not required for this internship, though employment is easier when you have both experience and the graduate degree. Ultimately, employers like education, but they hire experience; they want proof that you can do what needs doing. You can get credible experience in this internship. As interns complete learning on instructional design, they also develop content. There are process documents for every phase of design/development. Ideally, interns should be able to give five hours a week to the program, and that time should be spread over the week (teachers, does this sound familiar?). The most visible gain interns demonstrate is confidence in their ability to apply instructional design. This makes a difference in the job interview. If you respond to this opportunity, you will receive an intern agreement to read and mark your agreement to. Then you will need to email again to indicate that you have accepted the agreement and to provide a time to meet.

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. To learn more about KeelWorks, please check out website at http://keelworks.org KeelWorks is in immediate need for internship coordinators to work with the interns in providing a positive environment for future interns. The Internship Coordinator Job duties include: Performs under the direction of the intern program manager. Opens initial verbal contact with intern applicants. Obtains resume and screens applicants per criteria provided by the program manager (e.g., a graphic art intern must have minimum graphic art competence). Tasks designated program manager to onboard new intern/volunteer. Tracks intern/volunteer participation checking to ensure they are engaging. Alerts program manager where intern or volunteer needs attention. If interested, please contact Director, Internship Program, Leslie A. Buhrlage, via email at leslie.buhrlage@keelworks.org.
