This role will involve co-ordination of the initial stages of a Languages mentoring programme, between May and July/August 2024 (12 weeks). The programme will be rolled out in 2024-2025 and will be led by Languages at Queen’s, in collaboration with NICILT. This is a research impact programme, aimed at supporting year 12 students of Languages in schools in NI, primarily through mentoring but also through talks and a taster event at Queen’s, such that those with an interest in taking a language at A level feel confident and empowered to take a positive decision. The mentors will be final-year languages students at Queen’s.
The 12-week internship will involve 140 hours of work, working with staff and students in Languages, and with NICILT, to undertake the following:
- Coordination of the recruitment of mentors
- Working with Queen’s to organise Access NI checks
- Coordination of the recruitment of participating schools
- Liaising with the selected schools to ensure all paperwork is completed by late June
