Help schools bring career exploration to life for students, in the classroom and at live events.

The Dream Opportunity is a global nonprofit helping students from underserved communities explore career pathways, develop professional skills, and gain exposure to opportunities they may not otherwise know exist.

We partner with leading global companies including JPMorgan Chase, Blackstone, AT&T, Warner Bros. Discovery, Verizon, Yahoo, Salesforce, EY, Informa, Paramount, Versace, and more to connect students with career exposure and professional development opportunities.

We are expanding our college and career exploration programming and live student events, and are looking for a School Implementation & Events Specialist to work directly with students, educators, partner schools and event partners.

In schools, you'll introduce students and educators to our college and career exploration platform, facilitate structured sessions and help teachers and counselors use it with confidence. At events, you'll host student programming such as panels and show floor tours at major trade shows. You'll also lead students working paid event roles through our Dream Access Program.

This role is ideal for someone with experience in education, teaching, youth development, college and career readiness, EdTech, facilitation, or event hosting and presenting.
