Electrical Trade, Adjunct Instructor

Alamance Community College is seeking a dynamic and experienced individual to serve as the Adjunct Instructor for our Electrical Classes within the Workforce Development & Continuing Education department. These classes are designed to equip students, including those who may be enrolled in electrical apprenticeships, with practical, in-demand skills for immediate employment in the electrical trade. The ideal candidate will combine industry expertise with a passion for teaching and mentoring future electricians, fostering both technical proficiency and professional growth.

The courses will be structured as a sequence of course levels, each building progressively upon the last to support cumulative skill development and mastery. The curriculum will cover foundational to advanced electrical skills, focusing specifically on the load-side electrical system—also known as premise wiring or customer-side electrical systems—encompassing the wiring, equipment, and devices within the structure or facility, such as power distribution, lighting, and control systems.

Instruction will emphasize practical applications and safety standards for these systems, preparing students to work on customer-owned electrical installations while excluding focus on utility-side components like the meter or grid infrastructure.

The instructor will play a central role in designing and refining the curriculum to align with current industry standards, incorporating input from apprenticeship sponsors and industry partners to ensure relevance. They will support students in obtaining relevant certifications and other industry-recognized credentials, depending on necessity and availability, and will coordinate with employers and apprenticeship coordinators to integrate on-the-job training with classroom learning, ensuring a cohesive supplementary educational experience.
