• Identify workforce challenges, talent shortages, and emerging needs.

• Track project activities, deadlines, and key outcomes.
• Track participation, opportunities and feedback, and maintain CRM records.

• Are curious, resourceful, and willing to learn.
• Can work independently while knowing when to ask for support.
• Have an interest in business, education, workforce, or community development.
• Value inclusive and welcoming workplaces.

You don't need experience in every area listed above. Co-op placements, internships, volunteer experience, part-time work, and community involvement are all valuable and will be considered.

Required

• Availability to work in office Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
• Flexibility to travel throughout the northeast (some evenings and weekends may be required).
• Access to a reliable vehicle (we reimburse mileage).

Assets (Not Required)
