Careers
Everything here is seasonal and most roles are voluntary. What you get is real ownership, a named credit, and a network of 381 mentors and thousands of students across 64 districts. Filter by commitment type, then apply.
Clear the filter, or send us a note about what you want to do — we can usually find a lane.
Run the season's workshops for one district cohort. Weekly-ish commitment from October to the national round. You set the pace; we supply the material and the roster.
Ongoing See the roster
Evaluate national-final submissions against a published rubric. Typically two days at the final, plus remote marking beforehand.
Seasonal Jury board
Represent ICTOB on your campus: run a registration drive, host a workshop, and bring a cohort into the next season. The most popular entry point.
Seasonal Ambassador team
Prepare a school or college squad for the national round. You own the team's readiness plan and their practice schedule.
Seasonal Trainer roster
Run the room on competition day: registration desk, venue setup, timing, and the paperwork nobody sees until it goes wrong.
Seasonal Operations team
Review the syllabus and the season format once a year. Low time commitment, high leverage — this group shapes what gets tested.
Ongoing Advisory board
Before you apply
Almost every role here is unpaid. We would rather say that plainly than dress it up. What you get is credit, a certificate, and a network.
Work concentrates between October and the national round. Outside that window most roles go quiet — plan around your academic year.
Only jury, operations and event-day roles need you physically present. Everything else works over video.
Send one application through the join page and pick the lane that matches the role above. A coordinator replies within a week with either a short interview slot or a clear "not this season".
Mentor and trainer applicants are asked for one thing up front: a short outline of a session you would run, ten minutes, any topic. It is the single best predictor of whether someone is a good fit, and it is far more useful to you than a CV.
One form, routed to the right team. No CV required to start.
Registration opens in September 2026. Official date coming soon.
Stay tuned for the announcement.
