WONDER Track

A data-centered training program

This innovative internship track is aimed at training non-profit, public health, and good data advocates of tomorrow. During your time on the WONDER track, you will be utilizing data housed in the CDC’s Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research (WONDER) Database. You'll also build your 7 core data skills: querying, collecting, cleaning, enhancing, analyzing, visualizing, and humanizing data.

About

 

The WONDER Track is a BroadStreet Community Data Internship. This hands on internship has a mix of asynchronous/synchronous work. We welcome all skill levels but please know that this track is fast-paced with deadlines and lots of communication each week between team members and leads. The internship is 10- to 15-weeks (depending on the cohort) with an estimated 5 - 10 hours each week. During that time, interns will complete sprints that build upon one another. At the end, you will be tasked with creating a presentation for a specific audience (i.e. stakeholder) in the state/county you have been working. This presentation will utilize both (a) the data that you have collected during your tenure on the track and (b) external research. You will then present these projects to your fellow team members and Broadstreet colleagues. Please join us if you are able to devote the time (5 - 10 hours each week) for the full duration. There are 3 internship cohorts each year that start of the first Monday of the month: February, June, September.

FAQs

 

How does the onboarding process work?

 

After the Orientation Webinar, there is a 10-day onboarding process to familiarize yourself with the workflow of The Broadstreet internships. This includes a 3-day orientation plus a 7-day WONDER Track training where you will get to choose your stakeholder path (i.e. non-profit director, government official, or county public health official) and put in a state request. You will be focusing on this state and stakeholder path for the entirety of the 10- to 15-week internship (duration depends on the cohort).

What am I going to get out of this experience?

Throughout your time on the WONDER track, you will meet people and colleagues, learn the 7 core data skills, gain experience in multiple data visualization platforms, and create a number of presentations, maps, and charts for your data portfolio. We will also work with you to package the skills you’ve learned to make you marketable to future employers.

Join by selecting from one of the Orientation Webinars in the day you wish to start. The internship begins immediately after the Orientation Webinar. We do not conduct interviews. All are welcome. There is a 10-day onboarding process and all milestones must be met to continue.
