Brilliant Labs, a New Brunswick-based non-profit organization that works with schools to teach students about robotics and coding, is looking to hire seven program specialists across the region.

The candidates will help facilitate Brilliant Lab’s school and community activities, and provide support to teachers, school boards and the provincial Departments of Education.

“Those positions will be to help kids and teachers and educators in libraries or community centers to help kids to code and develop their creative and entrepreneurial spirit,” said Jeff Willson, the executive director at Brilliant Labs.

Five of the seven postings can be found on our job board, and two more were posted on Huddle. The posting said the hours are flexible but the candidates must be prepared to work 37.5 hours per week.

Brilliant Labs is looking for someone who is bilingual and passionate about youth learning in science or technology fields.

This hiring blitz is a part of an expansion that was made possible by a recent $1 million contribution from the federal government’s CanCode program. In an effort to teach Canadian students the fundamentals of robotics and coding in the digital age, the feds committed $50 million to invest into organizations like Brilliant Labs.

Brilliant Labs’ mission is to give all students in Atlantic Canada the opportunity to learn to create, code and innovate for the growing business and technology sectors. 

The openings on our board are in Summerside, PEI, Truro, NS, Moncton, Yarmouth, NS, and Corner Brook, NL.
