• Lead recruitment, engagement, and retention of employer partners to maintain a strong pipeline of WBL opportunities.
• Collaborate with school-facing staff to ensure engagement aligns with partner location needs, timelines, and student readiness.
• Conduct outreach via virtual and in-person activities, including networking events, industry meetings, and community engagements.
• Track and measure outcomes to demonstrate impact and progress against program goals.

Qualifications
