Under the direction of the Director of College and Career Pathways, the Pathways & Partnerships Specialist is responsible for supporting the implementation of job readiness training and work-based learning experiences through Burton's Pathway Program. The Pathways & Partnerships Specialist will work side-by-side with the Pathways & Partnerships Director and Burton staff to provide job readiness training, develop work-based learning opportunities, including job shadows, internships, and work-placements, and recruit, train and support employers. Highly collaborative, the Pathways and Partnerships Specialist builds and maintains strong and productive relationships with and among youth, families, Bayview YMCA staff, partner organizations and community members of the Bayview. They should be adept at working in a fast paced environment with students of color and thinking fast on their feet. The Pathways and Partnerships Specialist must be available Monday - Friday; 8:30am-6:30pm. Hours may vary slightly in accordance with the SFUSD calendar and program needs, including some nights and weekends. The Pathways and Partnerships Specialist is not scheduled to work during the SFUSD holidays during the school year, including Thanksgiving, winter, and spring breaks, but may have opportunities to work at other programs in that time.
