Your tasks include assisting with:

• New back office configuration (test and validate the features);
• Website development (test of web pages);
• Data migration (data referentel, data qualification, tests, SEO implementation);
• Training of the editors in the new back office.

This internship will be an opportunity to put into practice digital communication skills and learn more about a large international organisation such as ESA.
