As a part of the HOSA Canada team, you will have the opportunity to shape a rapidly growing company while building your professional network and making a difference in the community. Students will receive training in project management, business communication and event planning skills, but at the end of the day, this opportunity will only be as rewarding as the amount of time invested into it.

The time commitment varies throughout the year but can be up to 4 or more hours per day leading up to the Spring Leadership Conference and 12+ hours per day during the conference. ~1 hour online meetings are held on a weekly basis during the regular school year, so students should have strong academic and time management skills and also be willing to prioritize their duties as a staff member of HOSA Canada over all other extracurricular commitments.

Desirable qualities in applicants include organizational skills, the willingness to take on additional responsibility, readiness to remain with the organization for many years, as well as having an idea of at least one realistic way to improve one aspect of the HOSA experience. As such, applicants should look to include examples which clearly demonstrate individual contribution to an activity for the qualities above, i.e. event planning, initiative, commitment to any endeavor, and problem solving.

All HOSA Canada staff are required to (1) attend one in-person meeting during the summer, (2) be present for the 2025 Spring Leadership Conference at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from March 27-28 as well as for March 26 (which is a set-up day), and (3) all in-person meetings for which the time and date will be given at least 2 weeks in advance. In addition, staff are not allowed compete in any HOSA competition at any level.
