Landmark College (LC) is the premier institution for neurodiverse students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, or executive function challenges. In fall 2021, LC established a physical presence in the California Bay Area with our Success Center. An expanding, fully accredited college with a base campus in Vermont, LC has expanded through online programs and the Success Center to serve neurodiverse individuals with services, courses, and degree programs. Due to growth at the Bay Area Success Center, LC seeks a new Learning Specialist at its San Mateo, CA location. A flexible schedule and generous signing bonus are available.
