Brief

Description:

While teaching experience is helpful, it is not required; however, professional experience and appropriate certification are critical. Our students expect to learn from seasoned professionals who can share their knowledge and relevant experience in the field. Students can be a mixture of novices, partially trained, or experienced technicians seeking a credential. Teaching positions are primarily in-person, but occasionally instruction may be hybrid, if necessary.

Classes may be offered during the weekday, weekday evenings or weekends depending on the need. These positions are part-time and contracted on a course-by-course basis as needed. Our programs focus on credentials and skill enhancement rather than degree attainment. Classes may be offered at our Middletown or Fauquier Campuses, our Luray-Page County Center or an off-site location. Please see our website for additional information about Workforce Solutions and these programs.

Benefits Include:

• Teach as little as one evening per week
• On average earn up to $3,500 on select programs
• Actual compensation based on a variety of factors including subject area, length of class, and professional experience
• Opportunity to become a national certified instructor
• Teach in updated state-of-art labs, using equipment and tools for hands-on learning with our students
• All class materials, lessons, tolls, and supplies are provided for our instructors
• Receive the full support of our dedicated staff and lab tech assistant to make you and your students successful
• No previous teaching experience required – if you have the heart to help others and learn, we will help you become a great instructor
