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.

Upskilling Data and Business Analysis is a 16-week, hands on program that includes both in-person learning and on-the-job work integrated learning. Participants acquire employment skills and develop workplace self-advocacy tools to ensure clear communication with their employer focused on equity, productivity, and accommodation. Participants will be supported in gradually entering the workforce through a work integrated learning experience.

The Instructional Assistant contributes to the success of the Upskilling program by supporting both the technical and communications instructors in the classroom. The Instructional Assistant will answer student questions and assist students with hands-on work during the class. This can be navigating the materials or troubleshooting when students get stuck or behind. This role will include building a strong repertoire with the students and program team. Student support can include assisting with accommodations and supporting development of employability skills. These skills will prepare Autistic participants to make meaningful contributions to data teams in a variety of organizations. Our program’s purpose is to provide participants with the skills and tools to gain and maintain meaningful employment after program completion. This role consists of approximately 20 hours a week and requires **in-person** delivery of courses at our downtown campus Monday-Friday. The program runs from May 2024 - July 2024 with the possibility of extension.
