NorQuesters are difference makers and we’re searching for someone dedicated to making a difference to join our technology team, working specifically on our new upskilling program for Autistic individuals.

**ABOUT THE PROGRAM**:
The Upskilling for Data Analytics and Business Intelligence non-credit program is based on the former, award-winning Autism CanTech program. Our focus is on giving Autistic individuals the skills necessary to successfully enter the growing data industry.

The incumbent will work on monitoring student progress and proactively engage with current and future learners to address various challenges.

This position requires a high degree of responsibility, accountability, initiative, and leadership in a variety of operational areas. Excellent communication and liaising skills are required to work with students, internal college areas, and external stakeholders.

- Plan and conduct intake interviews with potential participants.
- Support referrals and pathways to other services and programs within or external to NorQuest for unsuccessful applicants
- Support the process of registration, ensuring clear and consistent communication and successful transition into the program.
- Support participants through the program by collecting feedback.
- Be the go-to resource for the team on best practices, tools, and strategies for supporting Autistic learners and creating psychologically safer places.
- Address concerns and challenges brought forward by the participants and, when necessary, support clarity and resolution with teaching team.
- Plan, develop and deliver an exceptional student learning experience that is inclusive and adapted to the needs of the learners.
- Advise on unique program support needs, assisting with approvals by providing relevant specifications.
- Support career transition and work integrated learning experiences by providing insights to ensure successful employer-participant matching.
- Follow and stay up to date with all policies, standards, and relevant regulations as provided by NorQuest, the Faculty, and Technology Program Chair.
