Computer Science or Information Technology Internship in Frederick

Company Description:  The Centro Hispano de Frederick is a non-profit organization. Our mission is to inform, refer, and educate the English limited proficient residents of Frederick County in order to promote full participation in the community. The Centro Hispano is staffed mostly by volunteers and we offer ESL English classes, Citizenship classes, legal Immigration Services, basic level computer training classes, and other services to the local community of Frederick County, MD.

Description:  The Centro Hispano is offering an exciting opportunity for a student. The Centro Hispano is seeking a motivated college student who is interested in fully automating a non-profit organization that currently has little to no automation and relies primarily on paper forms. 

Qualifications:  A student in his or her second year is preferred. It is preferred that the intern possess some experience in: converting simple forms from a paper format into an electronic format; in creating several simple and similar databases from which reports and data can be gleaned; in creating reports and simple spreadsheets and letters from the reports. The intern must also have experience in storing forms and reports and lists and the databases electronically either in a cloud based environment or in an intranet environment and all must be accessible from the cloud or the intranet using secure methods.

Responsibilities:

·        Create several simple databases using inexpensive off the shelf software products such as Microsoft Office. The databases are to be similar but are to be divided by purpose into a database for the English classes, a database for the Citizenship classes, a database for the volunteer instructor and staff workers, a database for the annual Christmas Party (including a list of vendors), a database for the annual summer picnic (including a list of vendors and events), a list of all churches and organizations from which we seek donations annually, a Word based document gleaned from the list of donors, and any other similar database as needed.

·        Convert simple paper forms into a data element oriented electronic format such that data may be entered at the point of entry and specialized reports may be gleaned as needed, thereby eliminating paper forms.

·        Create a simple icon based dashboard for the Director of the Centro Hispano such that the Director may access data as needed.

·        Update the Centro Hispano website.

·        Store all the information mentioned above electronically either in a cloud based environment or in a secure intranet format accessible from the Centro Hispano’s website.

·        Inspect eight (8) training computers and five (5) office computers and insure they are in proper working condition and all have the needed current software programs installed properly and all have current software licenses.

·        Check for and eliminate any malware and viruses and unwanted files from all training and office computers.

·        Create a power point presentation containing simple data for use by the Director such that she may make presentations to attendees at a meeting when she seeks a grant from a professional organization.
