Positions available: One individual student

NOTICE: We are no longer accepting applications for the spring semester. You are welcome to apply if you wish to work in the summer/fall.

We would like a new website that will link from a Wordpress site but can have more complicated back-end functionality if you're programmatically inclined, to publish the visible prototype of the back-end model I've been developing as part of creating and demonstrating a public record of skill-based learning that can supplement academic learning (wouldn't you like something to prove you know how to do <x> in relation to your education in web development?

This is a rapid prototyping / get stuff live / practice lean startup, agile, and MVP development and testing web project.

Students should be prepared to:

• Update content on a wordpress website
• Integrate components from multiple sites and platforms
• Create detailed documentation on work performed and the structure that would enable an easy-hand-off to a future intern or other team members in the future
• Use any additional amazing UI/UX, and/or back-end development skills to assist in this project. For example, experience with APIs would be helpful, or in creating user-friendly front-ends.

I provide a high level of supervision and mentorship via text and live calls. Interns often work with me during "live" work sessions where I am available to share screens, give guidance, troubleshoot, review/etc.

I have 20 years experience in business and marketing including prior experience as a programmer and in leading web development teams plus an MBA and PhD. You can read more about me if you look me up on LinkedIn or look at my CV at www.alicevoedwards.com

I also provide career mentoring and strategic career planning guidance and support. For example, I helped one student who had changed his major but really didn't know what to do with the new one think through what his skills and interests were, how they would align with a job, review jobs and their criteria and discuss the specific work he could do on my internship/project and how he could use that towards demonstrating what the jobs he was looking at trying to get hired for, would want to see.
