About the National Student Leadership Conference:
The NSLC’s Aerospace, Engineering, & Biotechnology programs are 9-day conferences for high school
students interested in the vast field of engineering.
The programs provide skills training and hands-on
experience to prepare students for a career in the world of engineering. We are seeking individuals with
relevant academic and leadership experience to work with high school students and assist with residential
life and office administration.
The Role:
Team Advisors guide students through their NSLC experience. Each TA is responsible for a small group of
12-16 students. TAs arrive on-site 5 days before student arrival to participate in a mandatory 4-day
orientation & training. This training runs from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM daily. Following training, TAs will work for
9-day sessions with a 3-day break in between. TAs work very long days and are expected to be ready to
assist students at any point during the program. A typical day lasts from 9:00 AM – 10:30 PM.
Responsibilities:
Lead small group discussions and debriefings
Teach academic and leadership sessions, as well as set-up and break-down activities
Assist administrative staff, professors, and leadership facilitators with program components

Qualifications:
TAs are generally current college sophomores – seniors. Current freshmen are generally considered for
our Assistant Team Advisor (ATA) position

Our programs include TA-led sessions that require appropriate educational backgrounds and
work/volunteer/intern experience

TAs will be paid $900 at the end of each session. The NSLC pays for room & board, meals during sessions
(most of which are eaten in the dining hall on campus), and transportation to and from the conference.
