Careers Job Description
General Description
The Office of Careers and Industry Partnerships is dedicated to the mission of connecting academic pursuits with career preparation. OCIP works closely with industry and the public/nonprofit sectors to understand the skills required for the most in-demand jobs and trains City University of New York (CUNY) students in those skills to prepare them for early and sustained career success. A spectrum of programs, including its Corps programs, are designed to give students an advantage in the job market and build their skills through work-based learning.
In early 2016, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs released a report entitled "Diversity in the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs Community," which concluded that the diversity of staff and leadership at City-funded non-profit cultural organizations does not reflect the demographic diversity of the City’s population. CUNY Cultural Corps is one effort to diversify the cultural arts sector. CUNY Cultural Corps offers students paid, part-time professional learning experiences during the academic year in arts and cultural organizations throughout New York City.
CUNY Cultural Corps is looking to hire a full-time program assistant to support all aspects of the program implementation which includes, but is not limited to, student and employer recruitment, workshop and professional development activity creation and implementation, and data collection and reporting. The team member will report to the senior manager and will be responsible for monitoring students’ participation and development in the program. They will also be responsible for tracking program participants and alumni job outcome data.
