Part-time Faculty Pool - Work Experience Education Instructor

Monterey Peninsula College is currently accepting applications to establish a pool for future part‑time teaching assignments in this discipline.

The Work Experience Department facilitates Professional Development and Work Experience courses as well as internships and community engagement. Our goal is to link classroom learning with on‑job experiences, providing students with essential skills, career knowledge, and the ability to set goals and assess work‑related learning outcomes. Because students work in virtually every type of business and organization, we utilize instructors with a wide variety of backgrounds and educational specialties.

Instructors work one‑on‑one with students at the job site to create and evaluate performance on work‑based learning objectives.

Courses offered include:

• WORK 93 / 493 Pathways to Impact
• WORK 94 / 494 Civic Action for Community Impact
• WORK 95 / 495 Beyond the Classroom
• WORK 96 / 496 Professional and Essential Skills
• WORK 97 / 497 Service Learning Work Experience

Co‑ordination:
College Corps – MPC Service Learning Institute.

Under the supervision of the Dean of Career Education and the guidance of the Department, the part‑time instructor will provide instruction in accordance with course descriptions, outlines, class schedules, and Governing Board policy; evaluate student progress and perform other instructional duties as assigned. The instructor may be assigned to the Monterey campus and/or Marina Education Center.
