The advertised requirements include:

• A degree or advanced coursework in Graphic Design, Communications, Marketing, Digital Media or a related field.

• Demonstrated experience creating graphic designs and communication materials through employment, internships, freelance work, volunteering or other relevant projects.

• Strong proficiency in Canva and practical graphic design skills.
