Student Work Experience (Transition Year) Project for InnerSource Commons

I'm working with a Transition Year student from an Irish secondary school for a week next week. They were looking for work experience with an non-profit. I've created this doc to work through. Sharing here for posterity (thanks @Maryblessing for the inspiration to use the more persistent repository for this... :)

I'll share the results - it may be something we could repeat...

JFYI - I didn't have much time to plan this as the week was meant to be next year, but had to be moved at short notice to next week due to other logistics - so (as you'll probably see from the doc) I used AI to help me... I had a number of goals in mind:

• Ultimately it has to be useful to the student, so that prioritised the approach
• I tried to think about what would be useful for her to say she did - so this covers:
  • AI experience
  • Market research / marketing
  • Non-profit contribution
  • Tech industry (for non-techies)
