presented to a panel of judges with a chance to WIN $3500 IN PRIZES for the
top 3 teams. The program is open to students of all disciplines of study

mingle with students from different programs, and meet successful
entrepreneurs or venture capitalists who were once in your shoes and can
share their experience with you. Representatives from Pizza Pizza, McCarthy
Tetrault, CMA Ontario and Moores will also be there to answer your

My office currently has four websites that I need to migrate over to the Universities CMS system OR have work study students competently maintain them in the current place. The Engineering Strategic Communications team (who built the sites originally) has advised me of some of the skills that a work study student would ideally come with.

Some important technical skills for someone maintaining or editing our sites include:

— Solid understanding of and experience creating websites using HTML and CSS.
— Experience creating websites based on a CMS, specifically Textpattern.- UofT has staff who can provide training on this to you free of charge
— Should be able to use Photoshop extremely well.
— PHP would be an asset for customizing or troubleshooting Textpattern.
— Background in design for web or print.
— A general understanding of how websites are hosted and managed.

I’m specifically looking for students who are most comfortable working independently and can function in a consulting role. I am relying on their expertise and as long as UofT branding standards are met and the “wow” factor is present in all our sites I am able to offer a lot of creative freedom. I need these sites to be dynamic, innovative and interactive.

As the deadline for work study fast approaches (end of the month) I would be most appreciative if you could share this with any students you feel might be interested.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

Regards,

Dawn
