Job Overview
BreakEdu is an educational agency that supports Korean international students attending secondary schools in Canada. We provide student management, academic guidance, guardian support, and administrative coordination to help students adapt successfully to both their academic and personal lives in Canada.
We are currently looking for an International Student Program Coordinator to join our team.
