First student-made videos posted

We have posted the first set of student-made videos to the Inspired2Work site. The videos were created by Stanford University students for the class “Psychology 192, Career and Personal Counseling.” Many of the videos are about Stanford alumni or affiliates, who graciously agreed to share their work experiences with the students. A special thank you is in order for Nancy Hosay at the Stanford Alumni Center, who helped find the video volunteers. Great job, Stanford students!

Help others create satisfying lives and careers

We are starting the Inspired2Work Video Internship Program, where we team up student video makers with volunteers working in different occupations. We match the student with a person employed in a field that the student wishes to learn about. The career volunteer stars in the video and collaborates in its creation, but the student does the actual videotaping and production work. The resulting video, if approved, is then published on the Inspired2Work site, where it can be viewed by others who are interested in that career. We encourage the students to make videos that are creative and entertaining. We want to see people doing their jobs, not just talking about them. We also want the creation of the video to be fun for everyone involved. It is a wonderful opportunity for the students to meet and interact with an established professional and find out what his or her occupation is really like.

Students can find out how to get involved in the Inspired2Work Video Internship Program here.
Career professionals can find out how to become a volunteer video participant here.

If you are interested in volunteering to be a video participant, please send an email with the subject line “Volunteer Video Participant” to rbabineaux@inspired2work.com. In the body of your message, provide a brief description of your current occupation and your work history. It helps if you can give some specific examples of the types of projects/products/tasks that you work on. Also, provide a phone number or email where you can be reached. We will match you with a group of 1 to 3 students who will be making the video. The students will then contact you to schedule a convenient time for the videotaping.
