My supervisors title is the head of operations. She controls the daily task and gives all volunteers their jobs for the each and everyday. My interview for WPC was in person. My interview consist of the interviewer educating me about the history of the organization. After being told a brief history of the organization it made me intrigued to start working there. I was informed about the organization through my Professor. I was intrigued by the heavy support for print media the fight for marginalized women issues,
My duties as an intern at WPC is to provide my knowledge as a designer and assist with the offset printing press at Women’s Press Collective new Bronx location. The offset printing press is used for any projects within the organization such as flyers, educational mail out leaflets, brochures and their publication “Collective Endeavor”. They also outsource their publishing abilities to small businesses and organizations. My responsibilities as an intern is to prep for the press by creating plate with the image that is going to be printed. Prepping the paper for the press with a strategy called jogging. Jogging is used to eliminate the static and assure that the paper does not stick together. Jogging eliminates paper jams on the press. I also count ink inventory and paper inventory. The internship is completely onsite, remote work is not popular in WPC. Much of the work done at WPC is onsite where the offset press is and all information about each project and client is collected.
