You will also handle student enrolment, maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders, track and report weekly statistics, and ensure accurate record-keeping. Additionally, you will contribute to the sustainability and growth of the programs. Throughout the year, you will provide general support to the Youth and Education team as needed.
