 National Center on Time and Learning (NCTL), Internship Program for Professionals Returning to the Workforce
Title: Project Manager Intern
Location: Boston
Start Date: March 2011
Reports to: VP for Finance & Administration
Time Commitment: 4-6 months, 2-3 days a week, flexible
Salary: Stipend
The National Center on Time and Learning (NCTL) is a leader on the frontlines of urban K-12 education reform promoting the simple but powerful notion that time matters for learning and that expanded learning time, well used, allows schools serving high concentrations of poor children to reach much higher academic achievement outcomes and enjoy a truly well-rounded education. Founded on the basic premise that the century-old school schedule is out of date in a highly competitive global society, NCTL is combining public policy, research, and technical assistance to fulfill its mission to expand and improve learning opportunities for children, particularly those living in poverty.
NCTL's vision is that in ten years at least one million children in high poverty communities will attend schools that have redesigned their school day to expand learning time to support academic improvement and offer a well-rounded education.
Internship Description
NCTL is currently in a growth phase and has several projects planned to build capacity and improve infrastructure. These include: implementation of a new contact database, systems for electronic file management, adoption of technology to integrate off-site staff into NCTL operations, and redesign of website. The intern will report directly to the VP for Finance & Administration in a project management capacity on some or all of these projects.
This internship will provide excellent experience in project management across a wide range of areas and exposure to software tools such as Microsoft Project and SharePoint, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and website Content Management Software. The internship is also designed to provide maximum mentoring opportunities, including attendance at NCTL meetings, conferences and events, as well as one-on-one meetings with senior managers. NCTL will customize the duties of the internship to meet the skill set of the potential intern.
