About the Workforce Intelligence Lab (WIL)

WIL partners with educators and institutions to build water-sector career awareness and education pathways for elementary, secondary, and postsecondary students. This is a collaboration track. Full-time employment or a project-based contract may be used when a joint award calls for it.

We engage experienced practitioners for both full-time employment and project-based contract roles, as applicable to the award and staffing model. Engagements are remote-first with travel as required for partner and field sites. We build ready teams for live grant and sponsored-research pursuits.

This opportunity is contingent upon grant or sponsored-project award and final staffing approval. Permission will be requested before including a candidate's name or resume in a proposal or funding package.

WIL is seeking education partners who can co-develop curriculum exposure, career exploration, dual-enrollment or bridge experiences, or student work-based learning tied to water careers.
