Instructor, Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation

Where big futures start. Circuit Stream is building the defining youth enrichment brand in North America. We create pre-university summer camps that give young people the chance to explore what they might want to do next, from AI, engineering, medicine and business to psychology, sports, outdoor adventure and more. Through partnerships with leading universities and industry experts, we turn those interests into hands‑on experiences that build skills, confidence, and open doors to future opportunities.

We have big ambitions to serve over 10,000+ students a year. Getting there means moving quickly, trying new things, learning from what works, and giving great people real ownership. If you’re ambitious about where your own career can go, and excited to help young people discover where theirs might lead, you’ll thrive here.

We’re looking for an entrepreneur, business professional, educator, or Masters/PhD student who can make entrepreneurship feel practical and exciting for teenagers and create a classroom where students are eager to test ideas, solve problems, and build something of their own.
