About Toronto Metropolitan

At the intersection of mind and action, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is on a transformative path to become Canada’s leading comprehensive innovation university. Integral to this path is the placement of equity, diversity and inclusion as fundamental to our institutional culture. Our current outlines each as core values and we work to embed them in all that we do.

TMU welcomes those who have demonstrated a commitment to upholding the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion and will assist us in realizing the benefits of embedding these values into the work at every level and in every unit of the university. In addition, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment in Canada and to bring lived experiences to the work, we encourage applications from members of equity deserving groups that have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples in Canada, First Nations Peoples in the United States, racialized people, Black people, persons with disabilities, women, and 2SLGBTQ+ people. Preference will be given to candidates with lived experiences as people from equity deserving groups, as well as experience working with these communities with which the University works every day. Please note that all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply and we welcome newcomers and immigrants to Canada.

In April 2022, the university announced its new name of Toronto Metropolitan University. Learn more about our.

The team

Part of Student Wellbeing, the team facilitates and supports accessibility and inclusion through education and academic accommodation for the diverse mix of students with disabilities in order for each to fully participate in their academic experience at Toronto Metropolitan University.

TMU students with disabilities connect with AAS services to learn about and implement individualized academic accommodation plans while also exploring learning strategies, assistive technology, and other resources that can support them in more fully participating in their studies.

The Learning & Assistive Technology Strategist (LATS) is part of the Inclusive Learning team within AAS and reports to the Manager of Inclusive Learning.

The incumbent is responsive to individual student needs and prepared to discuss: procrastination, motivation, time management, reading, writing essays, studying for and writing tests, note-taking, and assistive technology with students.

In collaboration with the Inclusive Learning team, the LATS guides service delivery and program planning by drawing from the lived experiences of students with disabilities, evidence-based resources from a variety of disciplines, and the social issues affecting students today.
Additionally, the successful candidate will promote and act as a resource to students, staff, and faculty regarding current and future uses of inclusive learning practices and assistive technology for students with disabilities in the educational setting.
