degree. We recommend that the Chamber implement an internship program specifically for social media. This is because the Chamber doesn’t have money to hire an employee to update the social networking sites we have recommended in our plan. This program will remedy costs and staff man hours. The interns will execute daily tasks specifically for social media, such as updating Chamber accounts on Facebook, LinkedIn and the official website. Execution: We propose the Chamber network and partner with local universities that require students to intern and that provide classes pertaining to social media. This will give students experience, and the students will help the Chamber update its networking sites as well as provide fresh ideas to stay ahead. We suggest the Chamber send universities a job description and list of requirements for possible interns. We suggest the Chamber coordinate a point of contact for the students to send applications and any questions they have about the job. *Sample intern job description: Appendix II
OBJECTIVE 3: To provide information to universities and raise awareness of the program. Reason: It is important to provide information for universities to implement an internship program for students. This is to inform a university about a position and to provide students with a standard that must be met in order to get the internship opportunity. Execution: We suggest the Chamber disseminate the formulated job description for the position to partnered universities. We have researched local universities and found a few universities that could be potential partners with the Chamber. *Various university contact information: Appendix III
