Hot Handshake Education Jobs & Internships
Check out lots of education-related opportunities for both post-grad teaching and education consulting as well as internship opportunities in K-12.
A few information session events to look out for and put on your calendar:
Virtual Session NALCAP (North American Language and Culture Assistants Program) Info Session at Middlebury College, Tue February 22, 2022 – American and Canadian college students and graduates, who are native-like speakers of English, partner with elementary and secondary schools in Spain to support language programs as teaching assistants (TAs) under the supervision and guidance of teachers of English as a World/Foreign Language. At the same time, the program offers recipients the opportunity to learn about the language and culture of Spain by becoming a local and growing on a personal level, while sharing the language and culture of the United States with students in Spain. They can later use this experience upon their return to the United States, whether it be in the field of teaching, business or any other. This promotes a cultural link between the citizens of these countries and is why the Embassy of Spain sponsors the program.

Knoll Summer Intern Program Virtual Info Session
Tuesday, February 15
4:45 – 5:30p
Closed to the Public
Zoom link: https://middlebury.zoom.us/j/91016422865?pwd=VFI0K1EzZ05MTjkzK1JHUDFNU3kvUT09 Password: 706956
STUDENTS: The Knoll is hiring summer interns! Ask questions and learn more during this drop-in info session hosted by former Knoll interns and Megan Brakeley, food and garden educator.
More info about the application/hiring process can be found below in the Student Opportunities section and at go/knollsummerintern
The Knoll’s mission is to explore food as a medium to cultivate well-being in people, place, and the planet. If we are to do so, our work begins with understanding and dismantling oppression, with particular attention to the racism, land theft, cultural erasure, and colonial supremacy that built our food system and remain at the fore. The Knoll commits to intentional crafting of a space for people to have nuanced conversations about food justice and how it intersects with systems of oppression, culture, and ideas of food sovereignty. This requires skilled facilitation and thoughtful framing, as so much of our relationship with food is rooted in deeply personal concepts of identity, culture, and memory.
