    • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build rapport with students and staff from diverse cultural backgrounds.
    • Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines. This includes managing a busy workshop environment while implementing health and safety protocols.
