Define the purpose of the business/organization – what they do, structure, who are their customers, etc. What is your job description – what will you be doing, who will you work with, where do you fit in, etc.?
The Town of Cary is our local government, in which many departments that contribute to Cary's development are located. For example, Parks and Recreation, Human Resources, Police, Fire, Technology Services and Public Works are all Town of Cary departments that each have their own responsibilities and work ethics. The Town's customers generally consist of Cary citizens, however with a department like Technology Services, other companies/vendors are also Town customers. The department in which I work in, Technology Services, is probably one of the most crucial departments for the Town of Cary. Here, the staff not only takes care of Police/Fire records, but also provides data management strategies for all Town departments in order to ensure work efficiency.
I have been given the job of a Project Manager. In this position, I lead my Analytics/Innovation team, provide work for my co-workers, attend/lead meetings, handle presentations and take responsibility for all projects. I primarily work with the Data Analytics staff. The other interns (4) belong to the Service Desk team, where they make calls for internal staff maintenance.
This week, I am working on an Open Data story for the Parks and Recreation department. Open Data stories are basically written articles explaining the significance of the data visualizations we've made of the Town's progress. My two co-workers are given the visual analytics tasks with the help of SAS Enterprise, whereas I am given the research/writing/coding part of the job.
