This week, SkillCraft Bermuda began its third social media summer internship, guided by Program Director and Coach Margot Shane. A spokesperson said, “Fifteen new student interns and fifteen host-organizations who are taking part in the summer program have begun working together this week.” Program Director Margot Shane said “It is an incredible privilege for us to run the program for a third year this summer.
Last Thursday we hosted our launch event where many of our host businesses and youth interns got to meet and mingle in person. The program will see the 15 young people experience working in a place of business and managing real responsibilities like creating social media content, completing various projects and sharing their opinions and ideas with their team. “The interns will also spend three days with the SkillCraft team learning the fundamentals of marketing and social media as well as key skills for the workplace.
The tried and tested curriculum and coaching support will ensure the interns are empowered to become knowledgeable ‘mini social media marketers’ over the next six weeks. Interns will also be required to deliver at least 3 months worth of social media posts ensuring that businesses are equipped with a potential source of plug-and-play content.” “We are very pleased to have received the support of Centennial Bermuda Foundation’s Economic Participation Committee through their grant of $100,000 for the funding of our SkillCraft Youth Interns.
