WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

The Professional Learning Specialist plays a critical role in advancing College Admissions Made Possible’s (CAMP) mission to expand access to college, career, and workforce development opportunities for students across multiple communities and school systems.

The Professional Learning Specialist is what brings ELP modules to life through consistent, well-prepared coaching and training so teachers and staff can put project-based learning (PBL) and engineering design process (EDP) strategies to work with confidence in their own classrooms and Afterschool settings. When that support shows up, students build the STEM learning, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills that translate into real workforce readiness, not just stronger grades. That is how this role turns solid instructional design into measurable academic impact and lasting opportunity for the students CAMP serves.
