Administrative & Systems Associate, Centre for Experiential Learning - Nanaimo, Canada - Vancouver Island University
Description
Duties:
The Administrative & Systems Associate plays a significant role working within the Department of Student Affairs for the Centre for Experiential Learning (CEL), reporting to the Director of the Centre for Experiential Learning & Student Engagement. The CEL is a team of professionals with expertise in experiential education and work-integrated learning (WIL), career development, retention, student engagement and employment. The team provides expertise to promote, support and assess applied learning while successfully preparing students to achieve their career goals. Advancing experiential learning for all students and recognizing the importance of non-credit experiential learning by applying holistic development of VIU's graduate attributes, the CEL has introduced several student-focused co-curricular initiatives to encourage students in building professional and leadership competencies. Additionally, the area aids students in their career education and development needs through the Career Studio, a hub where students, staff, and community intersect. This role supports the CEL, Director and Student Affairs in delivering the Foundational Plan for students to "enter with curiosity and leave VIU with confidence.
This role provides extensive administrative support and coordination for programs and services under the CEL. This includes CEL & WIL online career portal and related off-campus external employment relations, student inquiries and event coordination as required. Providing confidential, professional, and resourceful support is critical to the success of this role, as well as being able to juggle a fast-paced, dynamic area with the ability to triage and manage competing priorities is a must. This position is responsible for maintaining and organizing the online career portal (Experience Hub) to support process management within the programs.
Additional responsibilities of this role include:
The Experience Hub online portal is a primary component of this role, acting as the site administrator for various services and programs: register faculty/staff and employer contact information; admit Co-op or Internship students into the coop/internship module; review co-op and/or internship students' work term records; provide training to faculty/staff, students and employers; create training documents for distribution and update as required; track Co-op and Internship students via Experience Hub and SRS (Student Record System); Liaise with Records for potential work-integrated learning courses to request enrollment and course creations. This position requires a strong understanding of relational database concepts and permissions-based user access. The Experience Hub online portal has different modules, all with different sequencing and timing. A great deal of system management, both on the back and user end and troubleshooting for the VIU community occurs.
Required Qualifications:
University degree in a relevant field from an appropriately accredited institution and minimum three years recent, related experience. An equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience in a Cooperative Education, Experiential Learning or Career Centre assistant role.
