- Fluency in French is an asset, as is experience with marketing tools and social media platforms.
- A vulnerable sector check and a criminal record check is required.
- A reliable vehicle and valid driver's license are essential as our programs reach communities across the Island.
- Most importantly, you should be passionate about STEAM education, comfortable with continuous learning, and committed to creating inclusive learning environments. Experience working with diverse communities, particularly BIPOC and gender-diverse students, is highly valued.

**YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES**:

- **Program Development and Strategic Planning (20%)**: Organizing, planning, and occasionally facilitating STEAM PEI programs, ensuring alignment with strategic priorities set by the Board of Directors.
