Adjunct Career Services Instructor
About The Position
This role is about something bigger than just helping people update their resume. As an Adjunct Career Services Instructor at ACI Learning, you're the person who stands between a student finishing their IT training and actually landing the job that changes their life. You'll deliver live instruction, coach real people through their job search anxiety, and walk away knowing that your work produced outcomes, not just deliverables. This is a part-time, on-site role in Colorado Springs, CO. It's built for someone who's done this kind of work before and knows the difference between going through the motions and genuinely moving people forward.
Requirements
- A bachelor's degree in Business, HR, Education, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
- 3+ years in career services, workforce development, recruiting, or adult education.
- Real working knowledge of job search tools: LinkedIn, resume platforms, ATS systems.
- Strong communication and presentation skills with demonstrated ability to connect with diverse audiences.
- The organizational discipline to manage multiple cohorts and meet your deliverables without a lot of hand-holding.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with IT and cybersecurity career pathways and what employers in those spaces are actually looking for.
- Experience teaching or facilitating virtually, whether on Zoom or comparable platforms.
- A background in post-secondary, vocational, or technical education as an instructor, coach, or mentor.
- Experience with CRM or career services platforms for tracking student progress.
- Genuine fluency with online professional branding and networking strategies.
Responsibilities
- Deliver 20 hours of live instruction per cohort, working through a provided curriculum designed to get students job-ready in IT.
- Build rapport quickly, adjust to where students actually are, and create a classroom environment where people feel confident enough to be honest about what they don't know.
- Spend up to 5 hours reviewing student deliverables: resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and other materials that are crucial for job applications.
- Give feedback that's direct and actually useful.
- Track student progress in CareerConnect, document completion of module deliverables, and flag where students are at risk of falling behind.
- Bring a continuous improvement mindset to the curriculum itself: identify what isn't landing and offer a better way.
- Commitment to teach at least one class per quarter when cohorts are available.
- Availability to participate in deliverable reviews at least once per month as needed.
- Consistent, high-quality execution against student readiness targets: 90%+ of students finishing the course with a finalized resume, LinkedIn profile, and Prentus profile.
- Maintaining a CourseCheck instructor rating of 4.8 or above, with an 80%+ survey response rate and student attendance rate per cohort.
Benefits
