Job Description

ABOUT BASTA

Since 2016, BASTA has worked with thousands of first-generation college students of color to launch their careers and change the face of leadership in the workforce, resulting in the country's best job placement outcomes. Through personalized AI-powered career planning, best-in-class coaching, and networking with top 100 employers, New York-based job seekers in BASTA’s Fellowship program find great jobs at nearly twice the rate of their peers. Our Powered By BASTA program is scaling this impact through game-changing analytics and online support that supercharges colleges’ career success programs so students nationwide can accelerate their professional journey.

SCOPE AND PROBLEM

American undergrads are facing a job market beset by systemic underemployment. The problem is especially severe for the nearly 5 million first-generation college students: only 44% of first-gen students of color land a job that requires their degree,and only 20% earn a living wage within a year of graduation. These trailblazers have the smarts, skills, and experience to land a job that leverages their degree, pays well, and forges a path to a thriving career. BASTA partners with colleges, nonprofits, and employers to build that bridge of opportunity.

THE PERSON

As a Curriculum Writer for Basta, you will shape and enhance the experience for first-generation college students by revising and evolving content to meet students' and facilitators' needs. Your contributions will support the Fellowship and Discovery programs by ensuring facilitators have engaging, clear, and practical content to help students launch meaningful careers. You’ll be instrumental in creating materials that not only inform but inspire students as they navigate their career journeys.

In this role, you will:

  • Develop engaging, clear, and inclusive curriculum tailored to the career readiness needs of first-generation college students of color.
  • Revise and refine established curriculum based on feedback from student data and facilitator input.
  • Recommend and highlight areas where facilitators can incorporate personal anecdotes and insights into the content, fostering a more personalized and relatable experience.
  • Package session content into updated facilitator guides, Google Slides decks, and participant materials, ensuring each session is streamlined and accessible.
  • Organize and maintain materials in the content library and Google Drive, ensuring all resources are accurate, current, and easily navigable.

QUALIFICATIONS

You could be our ideal Curriculum Writer if you:

  • Have 5+ years of experience in content or curriculum writing for live virtual and in-person educational settings.
  • Demonstrate a deep understanding of effective curriculum design and have a background in career coaching or a related field (preferred).
  • Are skilled at synthesizing student feedback and facilitator input to create engaging, high-impact curriculum adjustments.
  • Excel at planning, organizing, and presenting materials that make complex information clear, accessible, and interactive.
  • Possess expertise in Google Workspace (Docs, Slides, Drive) and have experience with virtual facilitation platforms (e.g., Zoom, Slack).
  • Are a proactive problem solver with a keen eye for detail, committed to supporting first-generation students of color in their career pursuits.
