Hello Everyone,
CAUL-CBUA has been approved for funding from the Young Canada Works at Building Careers in
Heritage program (an internship program for unemployed or underemployed college or
university graduates) for a 26-week, full-time intern position for a postsecondary program
graduate<https://young-canada-works.canada.ca/Opportunity/ProjectDetails?projectId=12623&showBackToSearch=true>
(any college or university; any program) with responsibilities focused on:
1. Project management for the AtlanticOER Repository and
Service<https://atlanticoer-relatlantique.ca/> (open educational resources),
including user support; and
2. Leadership of a member-centric process to evaluate the current CAUL-CBUA website and
intranet<https://caul-cbua.ca/>, as well as stakeholder needs in a website and
intranet, with the final deliverable being a report to the CAUL-CBUA Executive Director
detailing options and recommendations.
This position starts on May 31st, and it will be fully virtual, so the candidate can work
from anywhere. They must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, or have refugee
status in Canada, and be legally entitled to work in Canada. The key role for the
internship is in project management and service support around OER, so the candidate can
come from any field of study. As this position is partially fund by the Young Canada
Works at Building Careers in Heritage
site<https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/services/funding/young-canada-works/students-graduates/careers-heritage-graduates.html>,
candidates must meet the eligibility criteria for this program.
Please feel free to share the internship position widely as the closing date for
applications is May 17th. If you have any suggestions for places for me to post the
position, I’d greatly appreciate you letting me know, particularly for places outside of
the library world given the OER focus as the potential candidates could come from programs
in computer science, education, management, etc. I’ve attached the job description to
make it easier to share. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Cynthia

CAUL-CBUA represents member libraries across the region, all of whom sit on the unceded
and traditional territories of First Peoples. In Newfoundland and Labrador, our libraries
sit on the homelands of the Inuit of Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut, the Innu of Nitassinan,
the Beothuk and the Mi’kmaq peoples. In Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, we find our
friends and colleagues situated on the territory of the Mi’kmaq. In New Brunswick,
libraries are found on the land of the Wəlastəkwiyik, Mi’kmaq, and Passamaquoddy Peoples.
We at CAUL-CBUA wish to express our sincerest gratitude to the First Peoples who share
their ancestral homelands with us all.
