Description:
SCET is seeking a highly reliable and organized student assistant to support the new Berkeley Startup Studio, a suite of online entrepreneurship courses designed to empower founders, innovators, and aspiring entrepreneurs worldwide. The Berkeley Startup Studio Course Assistant will be responsible for running Zoom sessions for live online courses, providing technical and administrative support to instructors, and managing post-class video editing and uploads.

  • Video Editing & Management: Lightly edit recorded sessions and upload finalized videos to the appropriate platforms.
  • Organization & Coordination: Ensure all necessary materials and logistics are prepared before each class session.

Qualifications:

  • Current UC Berkeley student. Work study preferred, but not required.
  • Strong reliability and organizational skills—must be available consistently during class times.
  • Comfortable using Zoom (screen sharing, breakout rooms, chat moderation, etc.).
  • Basic video editing experience (e.g., trimming videos, adjusting audio, adding simple graphics).
  • Interest in startups and entrepreneurship is preferred.
  • Positive attitude and ability to work well in a team environment.

Eligibility:
