The work

Docs nobody can follow are not finished

Describing a product is the easy part. Knowing who reads each page, testing every step on a fresh laptop and keeping the docs true when the product changes. That is the internship.

  • 1You get a realistic fictional product, such as a parcel tracking or clinic booking API
  • 2You write each page in Markdown and hand it in as a public GitHub repository
  • 3Your mentor reviews every task and checks that each step really works
  • 4You hand over a live docs site, a style guide and a README that explains it

Plain writing, Markdown and GitHub are covered in weeks 1 to 2. You do not need to code, only to write clear English and to run simple commands as you learn them.

parceltrack-docs/openapi.yaml
# Week 7: ParcelTrack, a fictional courier company's API
openapi: "3.0.3"
info:
  title: ParcelTrack API
  version: "1.2.0"
paths:
  /parcels/{trackingId}:
    get:
      summary: Get one parcel and its latest status
      responses:
        "200": { description: The parcel was found }
        "404": { description: No parcel has this tracking id }
# proof: renders in Swagger UI, every error code has an example

Curriculum

The technical writing internship plan, 3-month version

Four phases. Each one ends in a deliverable that is reviewed and graded before the next opens.

Writing for users

Plain words first, then the tools teams use.

  • Plain language, short steps and consistent terms
  • Markdown, Git and GitHub, and your first pull request
  • A README that says what, how to install and how to use
  • Rewriting confusing help texts and error messages
Deliverable

A README for a fictional parcel tracking product, in a public GitHub repository.

The capstone

Every intern hands over a docs portal a team could launch with

You bring tutorials, how-to guides, an API reference that matches the OpenAPI file, diagrams, troubleshooting and release notes into one MkDocs site for a fictional product, publish it on GitHub Pages, and hand over a README that says how to keep it up to date.

  • Tutorials, how-to guides and an API reference in one site
  • Vale and link checks that pass on the last run
  • A live link and a README that explains every section

The Ezitech model

What the technical writing internship includes

Three things that make this different from a course you watch on a screen.

Client-style projects

You work on projects written for realistic client companies, with deadlines and revision rounds, not recycled practice exercises.

A mentor, not a playlist

Every piece of work is reviewed against written criteria, you can ask your mentor at any time, and other interns are around you to build with.

Portfolio and verified certificate

You finish with work you are allowed to show and a QR-verified certificate that states your track and dates.

And you leave with

  • Verified certificate

    Issued by Ezitech Institute and verifiable by employers.

  • Verified certificate

    A QR code lets anyone confirm your track and dates online.

  • A live docs site

    A docs portal on GitHub Pages, plus a README, guides, a tutorial and an OpenAPI file on GitHub.

  • Interview preparation

    CV rewrite, portfolio case study and a technical mock interview.

  • A portfolio you can show

    Every accepted task appears on your public Ezitech profile, under the project it belongs to.

  • Confidence in review

    Month after month of explaining and defending your own work in reviews.

Built for you if

  • You are a student or fresh graduate in CS, IT, engineering or English
  • You like explaining how things work in clear, simple steps
  • You want to become a technical writer or documentation specialist
  • You need an internship or a writing portfolio that software teams respect

Not a fit if

  • You want a certificate without doing the work
  • You cannot work on it most days for the months you choose
  • You only want to write blogs and social posts, never software docs
  • You want to skip review and work alone

What does a technical writing intern do at Ezitech?
A technical writing intern at Ezitech writes READMEs, getting-started guides, tutorials, API references and a docs site for realistic fictional software products, with a mentor reviewing every task. Every page is a Markdown file in a public GitHub repository, so your portfolio is ready to share.

Do I need to know coding for the technical writing internship?
No, you do not need to know coding: the track teaches the Markdown, Git and simple commands you need as you go. You should write clear English, and a CS, IT, engineering or English background helps you read the products you document.

How is technical writing different from content writing?
Technical writing explains how to use a product, step by step, while content writing informs or persuades readers on blogs, websites and social media. If you want blog posts, SEO and web copy, the content writing internship is the better fit.

Which tools does the technical writing internship use, and are they free?
Yes, every tool is free: Markdown, Git and GitHub, VS Code, Swagger Editor, Mermaid, MkDocs, GitHub Pages, Vale and GitHub Actions. You never need a paid plan or a credit card.

Are the products I document real?
No, the products are realistic fictional ones, such as a parcel tracking API or a clinic booking app, described in each task so you can document them without their code. Tutorials use a real free open-source tool you install yourself, such as jq, SQLite or Pandoc, and every example uses made-up data.

Can I do the technical writing internship remotely?
Yes, you can do the technical writing internship fully remotely from anywhere in Pakistan, or onsite at the Ezitech office in Rawalpindi. You choose 1 to 6 months, hybrid (onsite in Rawalpindi or remote), and your mentor reviews the same pages and docs site in both modes.

Is there a fee, and is the internship paid?
There is a one-time programme fee and there is no stipend. You start with a 7-day trial before paying anything, and the full fee and refund rules are on the internship fee and refund policy page.

Does the technical writing internship guarantee a job?
No, there is no job guarantee with the technical writing internship or any other Ezitech internship. You finish with public GitHub repositories, a live docs site, a mock interview and help with your CV, LinkedIn and writing portfolio for roles such as technical writing intern, documentation assistant and junior technical writer.

Who runs this internship?
Ezitech Software House runs it: a software house in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, founded in 2015 and registered with the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB). Ezitech Software House and Ezitech Institute are the same company. “Ezitech Institute” is the name used for its internships and training. The office is at Office #304-B, Amna Plaza, Main Peshawar Road, Rawalpindi, Punjab 46000, Pakistan.

How do I apply for the technical writing internship?
Press Apply now on this page, register on the Ezitech intern portal with your basic details and choose Technical Writing as your field. No CV or work experience is needed, you start with a 7-day trial with no payment, and you can start any day.
