Internship Description

Key Activities:

  • Managing Ent-Ex social media
  • Content creation both for Ent-Ex social media and some EIIL projects 
  • Actively connect with our digital communities 
  • Create internal communication material 
  • Support in organising Ent-Ex workshops and other EIIL activities
  • Support in promoting internal and external events 
  • Technical support behind the scenes in online meetings and events

What we look for:

    • Digital Savvy: You have knowledge of all the major social media, know their dynamics and know how to manage a (digital) community. You understand the trends of the media landscape and are always up to date with the latest technologies.
    • Content creation skills: you are able to produce designs, pictures, texts and videos for social media. You can use design programmes such as Canva, Photoshop and similar. Your creativity leads you, making you able to create the right message for the right audience.
    • Communication skills: writing emails, calling, participating in online meetings and interacting with different levels of stakeholders make you feel at ease.
    • Proactivity: You’re a self starter, able to work without direct supervision. You would be expected to contribute your own skills and creativity, under task and process direction from the ‘owners’ of the various projects.
      Regular virtual meetings will be organised to ensure sufficient guidance and to ensure your contributions are in line with the strategy.
    • Planning Skills: You are extremely well organised, bringing systematic approach and organisation in a department where many topics are handled simultaneously and asked to be fast and qualitative.
    • Stress resilience and flexibility: You can flexibly re-set priorities in funcion of continuous inflow of messages and demands in an environment where many unplanned things happen. As it might happen during events’ season, working over hours or during weekends doesn’ scare you. Of course, you will be given your time back, to rest and recover properly.

 

  • Hungry to learn: you are willing to learn from the team, and have an assertive attitude. But you also always look for ways to improve your knowledge on your own.

 

    • Some IT and spreadsheet skills: You’re able to smoothly use Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and/or Microsoft Excel.

 

  • English: We have a European reach. Our company language is English, therefore you feel comfortable in speaking and writing it on a business-level.

 

What we offer: 

 

  • Coaching: we offer you a structured learning programme, where we guide you towards your professional goals. We will make sure that you receive personal and professional skill development through team meetings and individual coaching. You will benefit from access to our workshops and a range of one-to-one ‘lecturettes’ as needs or interests arise.
    The EIIL is a learning organisation and ensures that every intern has learning aims and a personal development plan.

 

    • NOT a ‘coffee and copy managing’ internship: you will be given meaningful assignments, tasks, and real responsibilities. Our philosophy: you learn best by doing.

 

  • International reach: our team is based all over Europe, and our stakeholders are the same. 
  • Remote working, flexible schedule: We are looking for an availability to work at least 20 hours a week. Actual work, and workload would be determined based on your interest, availability and capability, as well as EIIL needs. 
  • Paid internship: compensation and duration of the internship would be determined based on availability and capability of the intern as well as EIIL needs.
    The compensation offered would be under the Belgian ‘convention d’immersion professionelle’ recognising the training nature of the role.

 

The recruiting process: 

  • Send your CV and motivation letter to events@eiil.net
  • If you have had previous professional (or personal) experiences, send us also some examples of what you are capable of doing in terms of content creation for social media.
  • If you are successful in our screening process, we will contact you to schedule an exploratory interview to see if you are the right fit for us, and if the EIIL is the right fit for your career.
