NAIT’s Content Creator Entrepreneurship program is seeking a highly experienced, dynamic, and student‑focused instructor to join this new and innovative program. The Content Creator Entrepreneurship Diploma prepares students to build sustainable careers as professional digital content creators and entrepreneurially minded media professionals.
