- The Campus Specialist programme offers employment to graduates who want to work towards building a Campus Centre at their university, i.e. a team of 2-10 individuals working from an office and directing hundreds of thousands of dollars or more towards recruiting top talent
- People on the programme will be employed for at least two years, develop skills and career capital of relevance to a variety of top cause areas, and be pioneering a model of community growth that we believe we will end up generating billions of dollars worth of extra capacity towards solving the worlds most pressing problems.
- The Campus Specialist internship programme is for community builders that haven't graduated yet that want to have a huge impact & build cross-cutting skills that are relevant to a variety of top cause areas, and test their fit for full-time meta-EA work. Folks will be either:
- Working alongside a degree
- Doing part or full-time work over a break, eg. over Summer
- Doing part or full-time work on a gap semester
