Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Positions available: 4

We would like students to help us with creating content that is aligned with our vision, mission, and sector. We will ensure the student has a clear understanding of what these elements are for our organization.

Alpha Woman is a media company that helps Alpha Women step into their power and live their best lives physically, mentally, professionally and financially. We are seeking to comprehensively cover how Black women are rising up to combat systemic racism and biases, to launch their own businesses and attain leadership positions. We are looking to engage with great content creators who are passionate about shining the light on incredible Black women and have an interest in creating content in the form of written content, video, audio content, special newsletter series, or a combination of the aforementioned.

To accomplish this, we expect the student(s) will:

  • Assist in articulating an editorial strategy and calendar; responsible for assigned content creation aligned with strategy
  • Write blog articles, email newsletters/sequences and other content pieces on assigned topics
  • Publish their work on the Alpha Woman Wordpress CMS (training will be provided)
  • Be a strong interviewer - much of our content is interview based
  • Possess strong research and communication skills as well as the ability to put together a journalistic piece based upon the 5 "w"s
  • Bring ideas for Alpha Woman coverage of Black women leaders to the table

Ultimately, you will be working on editorial content creation for our organization, including interviews, researched articles, and potentially podcast or video series depending on the abilities of the student. This student will have a byline on Alpha Woman and will create a portfolio of work for their resume. Students will also become part of the Young Alpha Intern cohort, with Interns from around the world as alumni.

If you like the sound of our culture, and are ready to tackle this challenge with us, then we'd love to hear from you.

A student or team with excellent interview, writing and video skills would be the ideal candidate for this project.

How will you support learners in completing the project?

Mentorship and supervision is a key part of an internship at Alpha Woman. Interns are met with weekly to ensure that they are on track with their projects. As a person who has managed hundreds of people and built many teams in my corporate career, it's my greatest pleasure to mentor Young Alpha interns. Many of my past interns will attest to this.
