WHEN APPLYING TO JOIN OUR TEAM
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they believe they can perform every job description task. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background. We believe that all people are capable of great things, so we may consider an equivalent combination of knowledge, skills, education, and experience to meet minimum qualifications. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to think broadly about your background and skill set for the role. Even if you don't feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.
To be considered for future positions, resumes can be submitted to careers@venturalandtrust.org to be kept on file.
