Student Content Creators Wanted

Discover the region. Tell the story.

Are you a student who enjoys making videos for social media? As a Lifeport Student Content Creator, you’ll get to discover the Lifeport Arnhem-Nijmegen region from the inside.

You’ll visit interesting companies, events and projects, meet entrepreneurs, researchers and other professionals, and turn their stories into short, engaging videos for social media.

This way, you’ll gain real-world experience, build your portfolio and network, and receive payment for the videos you create.

For this initial phase, we are looking for four Student Content Creators.

In a nutshell

🎥 Around 1 video per month
💶 Monthly allowance
⏱️ An average of 4–5 hours per video
📅 November 2026 to April 2027
📍 Lifeport Arnhem-Nijmegen Region
🤝 Managers, points of contact and feedback from The Economic Board

What will you be doing?

You’ll be out and about in the Lifeport Arnhem-Nijmegen region, visiting companies, events and projects where people are working on solutions for the future.

You’ll get to talk to interesting people, discover what goes on behind the scenes and turn that into short videos, Reels and vlogs for Lifeport’s social media channels.

Think, for example, of stories about:

• innovations and exceptional people in the healthcare sector;
• smart solutions for the energy transition;
• chip technology and high-tech;
• inspiring entrepreneurs and researchers;
• events and projects that get the region moving.

We’re not looking for slick corporate videos. We want authentic content that sparks curiosity and shows other students and young professionals what’s happening in their region.

Your creativity is central to this. The Economic Board will provide you with the framework, contacts and feedback, but within that framework you’ll have the freedom to tell the story in your own way.

Who are we looking for?

You don’t need to be a professional videographer. Experience is a bonus, but we value enthusiasm, creativity and curiosity more highly.

We are looking for students who:

• get excited about video, storytelling and social media;
• are curious and enjoy discovering new people and organisations;
• enjoy asking people questions;
• are able to produce a short video independently or wish to learn how to do so;
• are interested in what is happening at Lifeport in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region.

Your course does not need to be specifically related to media or communication. Even if you’re studying something completely different but enjoy creating content, we’d love to hear from you.

What’s in it for you?

This is an opportunity to gain practical experience with a professional client whilst studying.

You’ll build up a portfolio of content that is actually published, develop your skills as a content creator, interviewer and storyteller, and meet people and organisations you wouldn’t normally come across.

You will also receive a monthly allowance.

You might even discover an organisation, sector or field of study along the way that you’d like to get more involved with in the future.

How does it work?

From November 2026 to April 2027, you will produce approximately one video per month. For each assignment — from preparation and the visit to filming and editing — we estimate an average of 4 to 5 hours.

The assignment will be structured in collaboration with your study programme under an internship agreement. You will therefore not be employed by The Economic Board for this assignment.

We will work with you and your course to determine how the assignment and supervision can be tailored to suit your needs.

Through The Economic Board, we provide:

• the substantive scope of the assignment;
• a contact person at the company, project or event;
• guidance and a point of contact;
• Feedback on your content.
