More information is available at these two websites: https://virginiatop.org/ and https://schev.edu/index/institutional/grants/commonwealth-innovative-internship-program

Two part-time positions will be hired from this job posting.

About the Position
The Work-Based Learning Analyst Assistant is a supportive role at V-TOP. The position presents opportunities for the selected candidate to contribute to the design of the upcoming program expansion and data collection strategy. This position is hybrid, where the candidates work in person at the SCHEV office in downtown Richmond, Virginia, and has an opportunity to telework.

Code § 23.1-903.4), which expands paid and credit-bearing opportunities for student internships and other work-based learning opportunities in collaboration with employers. The IIF&P is known externally as the Virginia Talent + Opportunity Partnership (V-TOP).

The Work-Based Learning Analyst Assistant will leverage their expertise in data collection
(quantitative and qualitative), research, and best practices in data analysis to support various V-TOP initiatives. These initiatives focus on preparing employers, students, and institutions of higher education to expand work-based learning opportunities in the Commonwealth significantly. Specifically, the incumbent will assist the Work-Based Learning Analyst in extracting meaningful insights from data collection practices across institutions and the workforce.
