There is an office of 5 positive and dynamic people located in the BODO area in a top tier commercial office space.

Idaho Department of Corrections

Idaho Head Start Association 

Internship 2  Basically, IHSA is looking to completely re-do their website, make it easier to navigate and be useful to the public in terms of getting information on the Head Start locations and what exactly Head Start does. The software is Dreamweaver CS4. It is not necessary for the student to know how to use Dreamweaver, as long as they are willing, and capable, to learn by teaching themselves. From what I’ve experienced so far, an understanding of “coding” would benefit the individual immensely.

I am currently working on this project, but have found myself with too many time commitments, and I won’t be able to finish in a timely manner. I’ve spoken to Stan Burton, IHSA Director, about replacing myself and he’s agreed it may be a better experience for someone looking to go into the field of web design. They will have the opportunity to say they’ve developed an entire site.

If students are interested they can contact me with questions, or they may contact Stan. His phone number is 345-1182 and his email is sburton@idahoheadstartassoc.net

Idaho National Guard Youth Challenge Program

JOB TITLE: PROGRAM ASSISTANT – IDAHO NATIONAL GUARD YOUTH CHALLENGE PROGRAM

                                                              UNPAID INTERN

I feel this project would be a good opportunity for undergraduate or graduate management students within your program to gain some functional knowledge of program development, project coordination, and time management. The work completed would become part of the standard operating procedures for a program with a four million dollar annual budget, and the contacts made and recommendations provided would be invaluable for the students future employment prospects.

The Intern needs to commit to a full term (November through April), five hours per week.  Some of the work may be performed at home or on campus, but the majority of the time will be spent in the office, weekdays between 9 and 5.  The Intern will be given an office computer, desk and phone to use as well as access to subscription policy services.
