The Opportunity
Are you passionate about making a difference while building your skills in marketing and communications? Are you a creative storyteller who loves to turn ideas into engaging campaigns? As a Marketing & Communications Placement Student with IDEA-STEM, you’ll help build visibility for our work advancing accessibility and inclusion in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), healthcare, employment and beyond. You’ll support brand development, content creation for multiple platforms, and contribute to campaigns that make a difference across Canada.
About IDEA-STEM
At IDEA-STEM, we believe that meaningful inclusion and accessibility must be lived, learned, and led collaboratively. Our consultation, training, and speaking services are rooted in lived experience, grounded in sector expertise, and designed to build lasting impact. We are researchers, educators, and IDEA professionals committed to transforming how inclusion is understood and practiced in Canadian workplaces and learning environments.

We teach, coach, advise, and actively learn alongside the communities we serve, grounding our practice in both evidence and care. Our approach is rooted in the belief that access is collective, care is non-coercive, and inclusion should never require assimilation into outdated or normative standards. Instead, we strive to redefine what belonging, participation, and excellence can look like together.

Administrative Support:
- Provide general administrative support, including scheduling, document management, and correspondence.
- Assist with organizing meetings, workshops, and events.
- Support seamless and smooth operations.
Learning Opportunities
- Gain hands-on experience in marketing, communications, research, and consulting within the STEM and IDEA space.
- Develop professional skills in project coordination, client communications, and campaign management.
- Learn about inclusive program design, research methodologies, and accessibility best practices.
Who You Are
- A student currently enrolled in a post-secondary program in communications, marketing, business, education, social sciences, STEM, or a related field.
- A strong communicator with a creative flair for storytelling and visual content.
- Comfortable with multiple priorities and working collaboratively.
- Comfortable using digital and social media tools (e.g., Canva, Meta, LinkedIn).
- Organized, detail-oriented, and curious about accessible, inclusive communications.
- Passionate about inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility.
What You’ll Gain
- Mentorship from industry professionals leading change in IDEA and STEM.
- Flexibility and respect for your learning journey.
- Opportunity to contribute to meaningful, mission-driven work that has real-world impact in STEM inclusion.
- Professional references and portfolio development support.
- Hands-on experience across marketing, research, and operations.
