Thank you for your interest in a career at Northcentral Technical College (NTC). NTC offers outstanding career opportunities to work in a stimulating and diverse environment with state‑of‑the‐art facilities. If you have a desire to help students while positively impacting the community, we’d love for you to join our team!

The instructor is primarily responsible for creating a performance‑based learning and teaching environment for students in accordance with the educational objectives of the College. This position requires instructors to be on campus and is not a virtual or remote role.

While there may not be an immediate need for an adjunct in every area, NTC accepts applications regardless, to create a pool for when a need arises. Upon successful submission, you will be considered for future part‑time adjunct instructor opportunities and will be on file as a potential candidate who could possibly fill a position if or when the need arises.

Part‑time instructors are hired on a per‑course basis each semester, and teaching one semester does not guarantee assignment for the following semester. Teaching hours for a part‑time instructor vary and can include day, evening, and weekend classes. Adjunct faculty can teach a maximum of 12 student contact hours per week averaged over the semester.

This posting will close on December 31, 2025. If you are not contacted by this time and you remain interested in employment with NTC, especially if your qualifications have changed, please reapply.
