Academic Instructor

Academic Instructor

Teach. Inspire. Change Lives.

At Adams and Associates, we know education is the key that unlocks opportunity — and we're looking for an instructor who believes it too. As an Academic Instructor in our Career Education Center, you'll do more than teach; you'll help Job Corps students build the literacy, numeracy, and academic credentials they need to earn a GED or high school diploma and step confidently toward brighter futures.

If you're passionate about student success and energized by the chance to make a real, lasting difference in young adults' lives, this is your opportunity to create meaningful impact every single day.

As an Academic Instructor, you'll empower students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in life and work. Job Corps is a transformative program that provides education, vocational training, and career readiness to young adults. Your role ensures students achieve academic milestones — opening doors to stronger futures and stronger communities.

Deliver High-Quality Academic Instruction

Provide instruction and training that leads students to GED/HSD completion and improved literacy and numeracy skills. Develop individual achievement plans and academic goals that ensure real, measurable student progress.

Support Every Student's Success

Provide comprehensive, individualized case management that drives student progress, achievement, and completion of the Job Corps program. Mentor, monitor, and model the Career Success Standards as required by the PRH, and hold students accountable to the Center's dress code and standards of conduct.

Strengthen the Learning Experience

Partner with CTT Instructors to infuse applied academics into career-technical training curricula, enhancing student learning and success. Keep your classroom organized, welcoming, and conducive to learning, and continually pursue improvements to programs and services.

Uphold Integrity & Performance

Follow all integrity guidelines and ensure strict confidentiality of sensitive information and student data. Help the Center meet or exceed DOL and company performance goals while producing thorough, timely, and accurate work.

Communicate & Collaborate

Exchange ideas clearly in writing and in person, identify and resolve problems with sound judgment, and work in partnership with staff across all departments to deliver effective student supervision and services. Accept direction from the Center Director, Duty Officer, or Shift Manager, including occasional cross-department assignments, and take on other duties as assigned.
