HOSA Canada is seeking motivated, reliable, and collaborative students to join our national team across multiple roles. All positions are volunteer-based and involve supporting the planning, coordination, and delivery of programming throughout the academic year.
As part of the HOSA Canada team, individuals will contribute to a rapidly growing national organization while making a meaningful impact on the experiences of thousands of students. Team members gain exposure to project management, business communication, and large-scale event planning, with the overall value of the role reflecting the level of initiative, commitment, and time invested.
The time commitment varies throughout the year. During the academic year, staff can expect approximately 4 hours per week, including a weekly virtual team meeting (~1 hour). Hours increase significantly in the lead-up to the Spring Leadership Conference, reaching up to 4 or more hours per day, and may exceed 12 hours per day during the conference itself. Applicants should have strong time management skills and be prepared to prioritize their responsibilities as a HOSA Canada staff member when required.
Please note that individuals serving in any role may not compete in HOSA competitive events at any level, nor hold an executive position within any HOSA chapter, for the duration of their appointment.
HOSA Canada seeks applicants who demonstrate strong organizational skills, initiative, and a willingness to take on responsibility. Competitive applicants will show a clear record of commitment, problem-solving, and meaningful contributions to past activities (e.g., event planning, leadership roles, or independent initiatives), and are encouraged to identify at least one realistic idea for improving the HOSA Canada experience.
