Use the roles and responsibilities described under each team to guide the selection of the competencies you wish to gain.

To support your professional and personal growth, we have created a spreadsheet that is intended to help interns (as well as new staff and trainees) plan and track the competencies that are gained throughout the internship.

Planning what competencies to gain

At the start of the internship, identify the competencies that you would like to gain during the internship, and highlight the corresponding cells (where the competency [row] and your name [column] intersect).  During the internship, if you identify more competencies that you would like to gain, feel free to highlight additional cells.

1️⃣ Identify 1-2 competencies that you would like to start with first, and highlight the corresponding cells: dark yellow (#ffe599 Image Removed) for higher priority competencies, light yellow (Image Removed #fff2cc) for lower priority competencies

2️⃣ Optionally, choose another 1-2 projects or tasks from rebrand.ly/WISEVolOpp that interest you.3️⃣ If WISE would like you to take on specific roles, projects, or tasks, they will highlight the cell in green (Image Removed #d9ead3) and specify what they would like you to do (e.g. organise online sharing sessions).ActSEAVolOpp that align with your goals.

Planning how to gain competencies


WISE ActSEA uses the "see-do-teach" approach to help you become more proficient in the competency you wish to gain.For example, if the competency is to facilitate workshops.
1See: This involves gaining knowledge of how the competency is practiced, and can be done through a variety of methods depending on the nature of the skills involved.
  • Study established guidelines e.g. reading the facilitator's guide
  • Watch video tutorials e.g. video on facilitation skills
  • Complete a training module e.g. do an online course on facilitation
  • Participate in a relevant activity e.g. attend a workshop and observe how facilitators work
  • Attend a briefing/training • Study past examples e.g. recording of workshop
2Do: This involves applying the knowledge/skill with WISEActSEA, and demonstrates that you are able to perform the skills required.
  • Facilitate at least one workshop, first as a co-facilitator, then as lead facilitator
3Teach: This involves training others in the competency, and helps you gain an in-depth understanding of the skills required. It does not have to involve direct training.
  • Review, update and/or develop guidelines e.g. suggesting how the facilitator's guide can be improved
  • Create video tutorials e.g. create a video 10 tips for managing disruptive participants
  • Create a training module
  • Run a briefing/training session
  • Mentor a new facilitator

...

You are expected to regularly meet with your WISE ActSEA mentor(s) and peers to:

  • Decide which competencies to work on in the coming days./weeks
  • Plan what activities to carry out in order to see-do-teach skills that are relevant to the identified competencies.
  • Review progress on planned activities and competencies.

Please You are encouraged to document your plans and achievements in the spreadsheet! That will also your personal Confluence space (or another platform you are comfortable with). That will help you keep track of the progress you are making.
