Volunteering & Career Opportunities

Careers and Secondments

“Secondments are an essential part of our business model. We can tap the top skills in the province’s education system for special projects or positions that strengthens ed-tech for all of Ontario’s school boards. It’s a win-win.”

Wayne Toms, Previous Executive Director 

ECNO’s continuing contribution to technology in Ontario’s K-12 education sector is due in large part to the highly skilled temporary staff who are recruited to lead various projects.

These and other positions are filled by school board employees who are seconded from their current jobs to temporarily work with a different department or organization.

Secondments are an opportunity to learn new skills and expand your network and career options, while managers gain back a refreshed employee with a new breadth of knowledge, experience, and network they can apply to their job.

Volunteer

Like most membership-based organizations, ECNO has long been driven by its dedicated volunteers. From providing governance on the Board to sharing strategic insight on the ECNO Advisory Committee (EAC), reviewing apps under the Vetting Applications for Safety and Privacy (VASP) program, or as an ECNO conference coordinator, many willing hands make for impactful work when it comes to supporting the IT needs of Ontario’s school boards.

“Volunteering has been extremely beneficial to my professional growth. It has also shown me that the technology-related problems and issues that we regularly face in my Board are the same that many districts across the province face.”

Doug Fiebig, Information, Communication Technology Manager at the Renfrew County DSB, ECNO Volunteer

“Yes, it’s more work and additional meetings, there can be some collisions with day-to-day workload and it’s important to get internal support, but at the end of the day it’s more than worth it. I would encourage anyone to volunteer.”

Carolyn Glaser, General Manager of IT Services with the Thames Valley DSB, ECNO Volunteer
