Workshop Assistant

This role is for someone who owns the room and genuinely wants to help others succeed.

Great fit for teachers, coaches, camp counselors and performers who love leading a room.

You know how some people walk into a space and the energy shifts? That's you. You can hold 50 high schoolers' attention for six hours straight — not by talking at them, but by making them feel like they're part of something. You're 100% someone who genuinely believes in and wants to support young people.

We're Skillify. We run career conferences and mentorship programs that help students figure out what they want to do with their lives. We've reached thousands of students across 220+ schools — and we're just getting started.

Our conferences are the heartbeat of what we do. They're high-energy, high-impact days where students meet mentors, explore careers, and walk out with more confidence than they came in with. You'll be the person who helps make that happen.

Your career path

• Start as a Workshop Assistant.
• After 90 days, move up to Workshop Associate.
• Become a Workshop Lead once you can run a full workshop on your own without supervision.

Your first 90 days are hands-on training on everything in the requirements, and a chance to show what you can do in any of our project areas.

What you'll actually do

Conference days (2–4x per week)

• Facilitate full-day career workshops (5+ hours) at high schools across California and Nevada
• Emcee and manage the flow — intros, transitions, keeping energy high, handling the unexpected
• Connect with students 1:1 and in groups — you're approachable, memorable, someone they trust
• Coordinate with school staff and mentors to make sure the day runs seamlessly and everyone feels the impact
• Drive or fly to school sites, sometimes 5+ hours each way, including overnight travel 2–3x/month

Between conferences

• Improve and iterate on workshop content and conference experience based on what's landing
• Prep materials, coordinate logistics, debrief with the team
• Support other Skillify initiatives as needed — we're a startup, roles flex

You're right for this if…

• You have "impossible-to-ignore" positive energy. Six hours on your feet, projecting, facilitating, engaging — and you're still hyped at the end. This isn't a performance you can fake.
• You're reliable. When you say you'll do something, it happens. People trust you.
• You're relationship-oriented. You remember details. You follow up. You make people feel seen.
• You light up around students. You genuinely enjoy young people and want to help them win.
• You're excited to travel. School visits, conferences, events — you want to be in the room, not just behind a screen.

Requirements

• Available to lead in-person career workshops 2–4 days per week, often full-day (5+ hours leading on-site)
• Strong public speaking skills — you've done this before and you're good at it
• Valid driver's license, reliable car, and willingness to drive 2–3+ hours to school sites
• Open to overnight travel when conferences are far from Las Vegas
• Work with us in-person at our Summerlin / Las Vegas office when not at school sites
• Mastery of Google Drive for staying organized
• Experience in teaching, youth programs, event facilitation, theater, coaching, or anything that put you in front of groups of young people

Nice to have

• Tech fluency and systems-based thinking — mastery of tools like Linear, Missive, Pipedrive, Slack, and other project management / CRM tools
• Demonstrated competency/mastery in at least one relevant project area — fundraising, sales, or technical operations

These aren't required — but they're what put candidates at the higher end of the compensation range.

Compensation & benefits

• $50,000 – $85,000 per year
• 100% health and dental coverage
• Paid time off
• Professional development assistance
• Relocation assistance
