Behold, an idea is born!

Breaking News:
It is now official; the ‘Book project’ was born over the weekend.
This news was divulged at the Wits Alumni Club, where the proud parents, the “Fabulous-12”, aka the WoW-2007 interns met to share their joy with the world at a media briefing today.

The '007' family has agreed to nurture to maturity, this publication that will assist in preparing South Africa’s future workforce for the world of work. This noble idea will involve processing the knowledge the interns gleaned at the month-long WoW internship programme through the eyes of an intern and presenting the results in a ‘fresh-graduate’ friendly publication.

This is the first joint venture for the interns, in what they hope will be the dawn of a creative phase in their union. There was boundless enthusiasm at the meeting, as the team fired ideas across the table.

If the proof of the pudding is in the eating, then the proof that these interns are ready for the world of work is in the execution of this idea.

South Africa awaits to receive this pet project – the internship publication by interns and for interns.

Off to a good start I would say! I think the meeting next saturday will be quite long and we will have to brainstorm how to proceed about the project, ie. project management. Bring your colorful crayons.

The idea of the book really seems appealing.
However, we still need to think carefully who writes what, who we target and how we will publish this book.
These things we need to discuss at our next meeting!
