But you can read about them right now on our website too.
This class of 60 trainees was selected out of hundreds of applicants for their talent, experience and also for their immediate intention to go work on political campaigns in the 2008 cycle. Most of the trainees are recent graduates from college, many just off their first campaign, with a few others looking for a career switch. Most are people who have already been using technology and the Internet to change the way politics are done, either in campus politics or on an actual campaign or two.
The mission of the New Organizing Institute (NOI) is to improve the way in which technology and the Internet are used in politics as well as the non-profit sphere. Our trainings are usually targeted specifically for one of those sectors at a time, with this one targeting 2008 (and 2007!) campaigns and other campaigning political entities.
The goal of our campaign trainings is to push more people into the staffing pipeline who understand what the Internet can do for politics. We take people who already get it, and try to give them an intensive overview of what's already been tried, what's failed, what's succeeded. We add to that some general principles for making their own future trial and error more efficient. And we try to give these trainees a solid foundation in "traditional" campaign skill sets such as communications, fundraising and field organizing, though we treat each topic with an updated approach that takes into account how technology and the Internet have changed the field.
These 60 future rising stars are going to get snapped up quickly. Contact us now at info@neworganizing.com if you've got a campaign position you're trying to fill.
