Standard (300 hours/semester), Fall 2026 & Spring 2027
The Longwood LIFE graduate assistant position involves a variety of duties that occur two specific days a week while our students are in session for our post-secondary transition program for students with intellectual disabilities: Wednesdays and Fridays (8-5) for 12-week semesters: https://www.longwood.edu/cehhs/about/longwood-life/. The GA will transport students to paid internship positions and provide job coaching for these students in the mornings. In the afternoons, the GA will provide scaffolding and support for Longwood LIFE students in classes. Other duties include reaching out to parents to share important program information, managing picture files, participating in program planning, assisting with teaching courses such as the employment class, and organizing information and templates for progress reports issued at the end of each semester. This is a very rewarding experience full of opportunities to support our students with daily living skills, employment, socialization, and to help them become more independent in life and work. The GA will work collaboratively with the program director, program assistant, and job coaches throughout each day as we walk alongside our students in their college experience.
