Since the http://chicagoapprenticeships site tends to have more concrete information about any given apprenticeship than the company's own hiring page, I'd like to be able to link people directly to a given apprenticeship.

A link might look something like http://chicagoapprenticeships.com/#launchpad, and when a user visited that link, that apprenticeship should be shown in a more focused way (not just alongside the other entries).

Questions / Concerns:

  1. How can users grab the link? This may need to come after #1 so we can provide a new button.
  2. Speaking of which, can we add some kind of social sharing button?
  3. What should the entry look like while "inflated"? A modal is probably the smartest answer to this question.
  4. Does it work cleanly on mobile?

Given the quantity of broken links or links with minimal content (a "careers" page for example), I imagine that the companies must change their addresses or content a lot. It would probably make sense to host info about the apprenticeships on this site, with contact info or a link to the companies' site.

I thought launchpad looked nice, that could be a good template. Perhaps an eventual feature is a form the companies can use to update their own data. Or maybe the security concerns aren't worth it. Anyway, that's what I got for now.

I think a social sharing button should be pretty doable.

Agreed, though I don't want to be responsible for keeping all information ever, given we're not a job site. That said, having those pages would also increase the total content on the site (at least according to Google), and I may have longer descriptions for most of the apprentice programs' curricula, and also interviews for several of those companies.
