**What Are We About?**:
Working under the supervision of the Fleming College Manager of Student Recruitment and Conversions, the Student Outreach Facilitator provides outreach to potential students who may not consider post-secondary education to be an option.

The incumbent will work closely with guidance counsellors, teachers, community groups and individuals to identify potential students who have been marginalized, and to help increase participation rates among under-represented groups, primarily in the Peterborough-Kawartha catchment area, with some activity in the Durham region.

Specifically, the Student Outreach Facilitator will work to increase post-secondary education (PSE) participation among individuals identified as likely to experience greater difficulty accessing PSE: first-generation, rural, racialized, LGBT+ new Canadians, people with disabilities, crown wards and fostered/CAS-supported youth individuals with lower high school GPAs or those returning to education. The incumbent will also support existing staff on Indigenous student recruitment.

This position is funded through an Ontario Post-secondary Access and Inclusion Program grant, which may be renewable
