Educational Assistant Internship Program
This program trains persons of low income for work as an educational assistant within the school system.
Excellent candidates for this program are school volunteers, substitute educational assistants, foreign trained teachers, and parents of special needs children. Candidates ideally should already be volunteering in schools and would be recommended by their principal. Candidates need to be caring and reliable.
Trainees attend workshops every Monday at Jobworks. The rest of the week is spent doing a practicum in a public school. If required, some students spend part of the week upgrading English, Math and Computer skills. The program runs from September to March each year. Interviews for September are done in April and May.
