o Deliver College Track’s Academic Curriculum across grade levels, ensuring scholars are engaging in rigorous, relevant, and asset-based learning experiences that prepare them for success in high school, college, and early career.

o Support scholars in understanding their academic strengths and needs, and use this insight to guide individualized advising and success planning. 

o Facilitate scholar self-exploration of their social-emotional development, mental health needs, and early college and career interests, using the CEP as a central tool for reflection, tracking, and planning. 

o Leverage partners and external Community Based Organizations (CBOs) to align supports and ensure wraparound services for each scholar as defined by CEP. 

o Work closely with College Counselors and College Advisors and College Thrive Coaches to deliver a seamless academic advising experience across all scholar phases and ensure alignment in postsecondary preparation. 

o Lead proactive outreach and coordination with school counselors, teachers, and caregivers to build a unified support system around each scholar. 

o Maintain a caseload of scholars, ensuring each scholar is seen, known, and supported across their academic and personal development journey. 

o Track academic performance indicators (e.g., GPA, coursework, graduation requirements), interpret data to drive scholar-facing conversations, and implement timely interventions as needed. 

Data-informed Practices

o Use scholar data routinely to inform intellectual preparation, instructional delivery, and individualized advising. This includes weekly and monthly review of both leading and lagging indicators. 

▪ Key data points include, but are not limited to: GPA and course performance, Progress toward high school requirements (varies by state and district), Workshop and advising attendance, Progress on Consolidated Education Plan (CEP), Postsecondary readiness indicators (e.g. SAT/ACT completion, dual enrollment, FAFSA completion) 

o Apply data insights to prioritize supports, adapt curriculum, and co develop action plans in collaboration with college counselors and advisors. 

o Timely and accurate data processing and input on a regular basis 

Scholar Engagement and Community Integration

What You Will Do and Learn 

We are hiring an AI Training & Enablement Lead to drive firm-wide adoption of our AI platform and agentic tools. In this role, you are responsible for end-to-end execution, not just strategy. You will design, create, and deliver the training programs, enablement materials, release communications, and change management plans that help 700+ consultants integrate AI into their daily work. 

You will own the full lifecycle of user enablement: from onboarding new users, to managing release rollouts, to measuring adoption and identifying friction points. You’ll have access to support resources, while playing a leading role in building and delivering impactful solutions. 

In this role, you can expect to: 

Training Program Design & Delivery 

• Build and maintain role-based training curricula for different personas (consultants, architects, engagement leads, practice leaders) aligned to the AI platform's capabilities and governance requirements. 

• Create hands-on workshops, quick-start guides, video walkthroughs, prompt libraries, and reference materials that consultants can use in the flow of work. 

• Facilitate live training sessions (virtual and in-person) for platform onboarding, new feature releases, and advanced use-case enablement. 

• Develop and manage an internal certification or proficiency program to track and incentivize AI skill development. 

Release Management & User Enablement 

• Own the user-facing release process: coordinate with the AI platform vendor and internal technical teams to translate product updates into clear, actionable enablement content. 

• Manage release notes, feature announcements, and "what's new" communications for each platform update. 

• Build and maintain a centralized enablement hub (knowledge base, FAQ, resource library) that serves as the single source of truth for all AI-related guidance. 

• Establish feedback loops with end users to surface adoption blockers, training gaps, and feature requests. 

Change Management & Communications 

• Design and execute change management strategy for the AI platform rollout, including stakeholder mapping, resistance planning, and leadership alignment. 

• Draft internal communications (emails, Teams updates, town hall talking points) that build excitement and reduce friction around new AI capabilities. 

• Identify and activate AI Champions across practices to scale peer-to-peer learning and create organic adoption momentum. 

• Partner with practice leaders and HR to integrate AI enablement into performance reviews, career development, and onboarding for new hires. 

Adoption Measurement & Continuous Improvement 

• Define and track adoption KPIs: active user rates, feature utilization, training completion, satisfaction scores, and time-to-value metrics. 

• Conduct regular pulse surveys and user interviews to assess enablement effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. 

• Report adoption progress and risks to leadership on a regular cadence, providing actionable recommendations. 

• Continuously iterate on training content and delivery methods based on data and user feedback. 

Skills & Experience: 

Required 

• 5-8+ years of experience in training, enablement, change management, or L&D, with at least 2 years focused on technology or platform adoption. 

• Proven ability to design and build training programs from the ground up, including curriculum development, content creation, resource design, and hands-on delivery. 

• Strong facilitation skills: you are comfortable leading workshops for groups ranging from 10 to 200 people, both virtually and in person. 

• Proven ability to translate complex technical concepts into accessible, engaging content for non-technical audiences. 

• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with a proven ability to craft clear, concise internal communications that effectively engage audiences. 

• Experience working in professional services, consulting, or technology firms. 

• Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with evolving priorities, and able to navigate ambiguity without a predefined playbook. 

Preferred 

• Prior experience with change management frameworks (Prosci, ADKAR, or equivalent). Certification. 

• Hands-on experience with generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar). You do not need to be an engineer, but you should be a confident, daily user. 

• Experience managing enablement for SaaS platform rollouts (Salesforce, Anaplan, ServiceNow, or similar enterprise tools). 

• Familiarity with instructional design principles and e-learning authoring tools (Articulate, Loom, Camtasia, or equivalent). 

• Background in or exposure to consulting delivery models, T&M billing, and the dynamics of utilization-based businesses. 

• Experience building and activating champion or ambassador networks within large organizations. 

In this role, you will…

• Lead Strategic Change: Drive the end-to-end change management strategy for enterprise-level marketing operations initiatives, ensuring successful service delivery and high user adoption.
• Apply Change Management Frameworks: Evaluate and apply the most effective organizational psychology and behavioral frameworks to architect customized transition strategies that meet the unique needs of each client environment.

We're making an investment in the next generation of veterinary doctors!

As part of the professional veterinary curriculum, colleges encourage off-campus educational experiences in practices outside of the teaching hospital. Practical experience in a well-run and contemporary practice can be a valuable component of your veterinary education, preparing you to deliver better care after graduation. Our program is dedicated to contributing to your practice-readiness and to help you hit the ground running after graduation.

Our program structure:

Our externships are flexible—they can range from two to eight weeks during the year, according to your college curriculum – but are typically two or three weeks in length. Your schedule will include days, evenings and weekends. 

Our externship rotations are designed to allow students, under veterinary supervision, to practice the problem-solving, technical and communication skills that they have acquired during their clinical preparation. Externs are given the opportunity to work alongside our veterinary team and are encouraged to participate in all aspects of patient care. A stipend of $250 per week will be provided.

What you'll be doing:

Externs experience the typical caseload of a small animal practice. Under the supervision of your mentor doctor you will gather histories, perform physical examinations, develop diagnostic and therapeutic plans, scrub in to surgery, assist in the management of medical cases, provide wellness care, develop your client communication skills, polish your technical skills and produce appropriate medical records (SOAPs) within the time limits of daily practice.

Who we're looking for:

Extern students are expected to be enthusiastic and effective participants in our patient care activities, upholding the professional and ethical standards of our practice. Students participating in the externship program are suggested to review the Veterinary Practice Act in regard to the scope of duties that may be performed, and to be familiar with the type and degree of veterinary supervision that is required. These should be followed carefully in order to protect both yourself and our practice.

As a veterinary student extern, we expect you to dress and behave in a professional manner and to meet the expectations that we have of all team members as outlined in our employee handbook.

Requirements:

• Be enrolled in an accredited DVM program.
• You are authorized to work in the United States.
• You must carry professional liability insurance. AVMA PLIT liability insurance is free for all student members of the AVMA. You may apply for this coverage on their website. Please check to make sure your coverage is current and submit a certificate of coverage with your application.

About us:

As sponsors of the Veterinary Externship Program, we see ourselves to be part of your educational team, providing instruction, mentoring and evaluation of the students who participate. You will be assigned a mentor and work on the learning objectives as defined by your college program or to meet your specific goals. At the end of the externship your mentor will provide a written evaluation of your performance as required by your college program.

We look forward to working with you!
