Instructors hired by the CCWC are eligible to teach at any of the partner schools based on their availability and course needs.
Skilled Trades Instructors provide instruction, support, assessment, and mentorship to Community College non-credit learners. Instructors are required to fully participate in the mission and community of the college.
