Calling all team leads and managers!
Before you log off for winter closure, consider starting 2022 with this win-win opportunity.
The IT Experiential Development Program (IT EDP) seeks hosts for three types of development opportunities: Go-and-See, Job Shadowing, and Short-Term Development Assignments. We’re especially seeking opportunities that offer participants more hands-on experiences in the form of Short-Term Development Assignments.
If you’re a team lead or manager, this is a great way to leverage the skills and expertise of other members of the IT Community while simultaneously creating a valuable learning opportunity for someone.
- Interested in hosting an opportunity? Carefully review the program guidelines, then complete this IT EDP Opportunity form by Dec. 17.
- If you need help creating an opportunity or have questions, reach out to the IT EDP Project Coordination team at it-edp-program@lists.stanford.edu for assistance.
