Ask HN: How could interns help IT administrators?

IT administrators must possess minimal leadership skill capacities to take advantage of such assets.

- written (email, chat) and spoken (as appropriate) decisive communications

- pragmatic expectations

- functional social/professional skills

That said, “how could” might look like…

- routines (backup rotations, random verifications)

- research and report (trending solutions for pros cons and relevance)

- staging (dev or prod rebuild)

- support (answering emails, phones, early stage investigations)

Finding something to do is not difficult, continuity is the challenge.
