This is a proposal in progress.
- Synopsis
- An internship which would have a person spend time in various parts of build as well as Tech Support.
- Justification
- This program would have tremendous value for both the individual and for Free Geek
- For Free Geek, it would provide a better communication link between build and Tech Support, promoting increased feedback and sharing of techniques and processes.
- For the individual, it would provide a better rounded experience involving hardware, software and people skills, and provide much better resume material.
- Prerequisite
- Acceptance into the Build program or into the Tech support internship
- Required skills
- same as for tech support. maybe add some hardware aptitude items
- Time requirements
- 10 hrs a week minimum, 2 support shifts and one build shift, (14 hours would be 2 shifts each, but is a large time commitment)
The idea is that an intern would get experience in laptops, mac build and tech support. There could be training in advanced testing as well.
