One of the key areas of the University College’s work is the Center for Professional and Workforce Impact, dedicated to expanding Tufts’ commitment to social mobility by producing research and providing cross-school educational programming that promotes career readiness and advancement for learners at all stages and across industries and job roles.

The Center is developing short, noncredit, workshops and short courses targeting working professionals with upskilling and reskilling needs in life sciences, healthcare and nutrition, and societal impact (non-profit) sectors.

These workshops are designed as modules, with the base modules (level 1) being highly applicable to multiple jobs and industries.

These modules are transferrable and can be stacked later with synchronous content and projects to deliver applied and experiential learning opportunities for learners.

The level 1 modules are between 5-10 hours to complete and are on-demand and asynchronous in format.

The Center is seeking to hire multiple content developer to design, develop the level 1 modules for a number of topics.

If successful there may be future opportunities for synchronous and live learner engagement.

The data literacy and analysis topics for development are:

• Data Visualization for Impact: Focused on using data for storytelling and communicating data
• Data Literacy: Understanding types of data, data organization, and statistical methods
• Data- Driven Decision Making in BioTech: Understanding the uses of data in a biotech setting to drive business decisions.
