Work with "Excel at Georgia Tech"

Posted by Admin On 10:25:00 AM 0 comments
Excel at Georgia Tech (formerly known as the IPA) allows students with mild intellectual and developmental disabilities to complete a four-year Georgia Tech certificate program while experiencing life as an undergraduate. Excel is housed in the Scheller College of Business Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship (ILE).

4 minute video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-_mn5Mo1a8)

Excel currently has immediate hiring needs in the follow two areas.
1. In-Class Support (Paid position): 5 hours/week

An in-class support is a paid GT student who helps an Excel student acclimate to a traditional Georgia Tech class, reviews key material after the class, and assists students in staying on top of assignments. The in-class support may take notes during class or help facilitate interactions in group projects. He/she will stay in close contact with the Excel Lecturer. Below are two classes that are available for an in-class support role.

- Spanish 3823: Spanish Socio-Pragmatics (MWF 1-2 p.m.)

- LMC 2500: Introduction to Film (MW 9:30 – 11:00 a.m.)

2. Excel Book Club: 3-5 hours/week

The inaugural Book Club will be studying the Book of Virtues by William J. Bennet. Book Club will meet TR from 1:30 – 3:00 in the BME building. It will be facilitated by the Excel lecturer, but the goal is to create collaborative conversations. It should be an incredible opportunity to learn about virtues with a very diverse group of learners.

Interested in either opportunity? Have questions?
