When do Program Assistant opportunities become available?
Program Assistant (PA) opportunities are announced and posted approximately 4-6 months prior to a training’s start date.
When applications open:
-
An announcement is sent via email to individuals on the Program Assistant Interest List and to recent training graduates who are now eligible.
-
The PA application is posted on the IFS Institute website.
-
The application window typically remains open for two weeks.
Availability by Training Level
The frequency of PA opportunities depends on the number of trainings being offered at each level.
Level 1 trainings are offered more frequently throughout the year, so PA opportunities at this level may become available more often.
Level 2 and Level 3 trainings are offered less frequently than Level 1, and therefore PA opportunities at those levels may be available less often.
If you are waiting for a Level 2 or Level 3 PA opportunity, it may take longer for an application window to open due to the smaller number of trainings offered at those levels.
