Overview

Lighthouse Labs has expanded to Toronto to become the first Canada-wide development boot camp and we’re looking to add a Career Services Coordinator to our growing team. Reporting to the Director of Career Services, this person will be responsible for engaging with potential employers as well as working directly with our students to prepare them for their new careers and helping ensure their individual career goals are met.
