Worksite Wellness Internship Opportunity

The Wellness Works outreach program utilizes various tools and resources and programs to support worksites. Programming varies over time but a specific and intentional focus is on the adaptation and delivery of the evidence-based ‘Walk with Ease’ intervention through worksite settings. Additional resources are available through a powerful suite of software from BSDI called the ‘Motivational Alliance’. See the website for updates on specific details on current programming (www.wellnessworksISU.org).

The Wellness Works internship is available for students interested in gaining experience and skills in worksite wellness programming. Student interns gain direct and practical experience in planning, promoting and managing worksite wellness programming. Specific duties of this internship may include:

• Promoting and marketing worksite and community wellness programming

• Managing health promotion software and tools for individuals or worksites

• Testing and piloting software tools and web apps for behavior change applications

• Developing worksite wellness communications (e.g. newsletters / flyers)

• Coordinating and managing social media channels and integrated websites 

• Managing worksite wellness programming such as Walk with Ease in the Worksite
  
  

Priority is given to students in the Physical Activity and Health Promotion Option who have completed HS 380 and KIN 494 A/B since programming builds from this applied coursework. Stipends are not available but student interns would have flexible work schedules and the ability to work on campus
