As a Core Team member of DSC McMaster U, you will be invited to the Slack workspace for all DSC Core Team members across North America. This is a great place to network with other leaders in the greater tech community and get mentorship from DSC alumni.
Since you will be leading an entire team of our club, you will gain lots of soft skills that are transferable to any roles you take in the future, including future jobs. In job interviews you will have concrete examples of the impact you made in our club, how effectively you led a group of students to achieve a common goal, and in general the interpersonal and leadership skills you learned through this role.
In addition, as a Team Lead, you will make important decisions about the direction you want the team to go to, set goals for the team and bring in your own unique talents, ideas and skills to ultimately make an impact on our community. This is a great opportunity for you to demonstrate your leadership skills, gain valuable experience, and network with lots of bright students and professionals in the tech field.
