Mitaufbau

English translation: (Collaboration on the development of... )

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Mitaufbau
English translation:(Collaboration on the development of... )
Entered by: Anton Baer

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Advertising / Public Relations
German term or phrase: Mitaufbau
-Semesterpraktikum von März bis Juni
-Mitaufbau der Tauchschule seit Juni 2001
-Komplette Mitgestaltung der Anzeigen, Broschüren, des Internets etc.

Brain is shutting down. Everything I can think of for Mitaufbau sounds rather Denglish to my ears. I especially find the "Mit-" aspect hard to integrate.

Co-establishing?
Participation in establishment/founding of the diving centre?
Development of the diving centre?

Please help me find a nice-sounding phrase...it is for the CV of someone who is applying for a job in marketing, so clumsy phrases is a big no-no!

Thanks in advance!

agree  David Hollywood: maybe "co-development"
3 hrs
  -> That's a good answer on its own --
agree  Teresa Reinhardt: remember to use strong, active verbs (for the US)
4 hrs
  -> Too right -- on reflection (post-posting) thought better wd be 'on developing', i.e. avoid 'development'
agree  Julia Lipeles
14 hrs
agree  Ingeborg Gowans (X): shouldn't it be: collaborated "in" not "on" ; just a thought
17 hrs
  -> I think 'participate in', 'collaborate on'
