FROM ALU

We are looking for someone who is interested in translating project management skills from the industry to students in an education setting to be our Projects Facilitator. If you have always been interested in education but are also excited by dealing with corporate clients, then this role is definitely for you. It combines the best of both worlds: managing clients portfolios and building relationships with them while teaching students soft skills to deliver real life projects.

 WHAT IS THE PROJECTS COURSE?

Projects is a Leadership Core course that gives students the opportunity to work on real-world projects, similar to those that first-year hires (or interns) would be asked to do when starting employment at a company. Over the course of their first year, students work on a number of such projects, across a range of industries and sectors, while focusing on particular skills over time. Throughout the year students learn to define and structure problems and craft context driven and actionable recommendations. This course gives them the opportunity to experience actual work situations, working on projects for real organisations, with a representative from the organisation itself working with them as their ‘manager’. Projects Faculty are responsible for facilitating the course, as well as managing the projects that students work on throughout their first year at ALU.
