The program includes intensive language instruction and structured cultural enrichment experiences designed to promote rapid language gains.
The position will require close attention to detail, the ability to handle multiple tasks and work independently, and a readiness to communicate with diverse groups of people. The Program Assistant will work closely with a dedicated team of CLS staff members and report to the CLS Program Manager.
