Indiana Department of Education Summer Jobs

The Indiana Department of Education has several vacancies for two different full-time summer positions with the Division of Language Minority and Migrant Programs. These positions require an intermediate proficiency in Spanish. As a TUTOR or FIELD RECRUITER, the staff member will work directly with migrant farmworkers and their children. As you may know, thousands of migrant farmworkers come to Indiana each summer to work in agriculture. These workers are predominantly Mexican Americans from Texas, Florida and other states. These positions offer a paid opportunity to assist the workers in acquiring educational services for their children. The Migrant Education Program operates throughout the state of Indiana, offering staff a rare opportunity to learn first hand about the depth and integrity of the migrant lifestyle while also gaining valuable experience working with Limited English Proficient (LEP) students. Applicants do not have to be native Spanish speakers, but bilingual ability is required (with at least an intermediate proficiency). The positions run from mid-May through October (or until staff member returns to school). Applicants do not have to live in Indianapolis this summer, as staff is needed throughout the state. If you have any questions, please contact our Indianapolis office at one of the numbers below, Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm.
