Hi community,

We are making big steps forwards with our own community hub and with that the platform is in need of someone who takes a bit of ownership of the content and certain strategies.

I was thinking about starting with an intern position. I was wondering, does one of you have experiences with opening such a position? Do you have a job description? Where did you put the focus?
Thanks for thinking along!

I love this topic, since I think that, the broader the scope of a Digital Hub becomes, the more it will feel like web design. To that point, I feel like the benefit of a web design intern would be to write HTML and CSS, etc. Whereas the page building interface in Digital Hub is even easier than Wordpress. So, I’m thinking that means that the focus would need to be on, “How should a digital destination be structured that allows people to easily find detailed information that they’re looking for? What content needs to exist?” And that makes me wonder, what are equivalent roles in other fields? Knowledge management, maybe?


I created one with chatGPT @basharmsen:
