How does it work?
yMedia:
- Matches students with not-for profit organisations to form a team.
- Appoints a talented and insightful industry mentor to each team.
- Runs an eight week challenge each year
— in which students help improve community groups marketing or operations through ICT based projects
— like building websites, developing CMS, improving internal documentation systems, introducing a social media platform
— the options are as endless as your imagination. - Throughout the challenge we also run fun and informative workshops and provide helpful resources to assist with both community group development and student growth and education.
Throughout the first three years of the initiative, we’ve had numerous success stories. yMedia Challenge graduates have been employed at Saatchi & Saatchi, Chrometoaster, Sun Microsystems, gardyneHOLT, Touchpoint, Terabyte, Brave New World, Consortium, SlamXHype, Porter Novelli, and many other industry leaders, as a result of the relationships formed through the challenge. And it goes without saying that community groups have also had great results growing their online profile, networks and capabilities.
