Cosmetology and Beauty Enrichment Instructor Opportunities
About The Position
Concorde Education is seeking independent professionals with cosmetology, beauty, hairstyling, makeup, nail technology, barbering, esthetics, fashion, or related experience to provide instructional services for K–12 enrichment programs at partner schools and community locations. Assignments may serve elementary, middle, or high school students, depending on the school partnership. These opportunities are intended to identify qualified professionals for future assignments; contractors may apply for, accept, or decline assignments, and no minimum number of assignments, hours, or future opportunities is guaranteed. Assignments may involve leading age-appropriate enrichment sessions, introducing students to cosmetology skills and beauty-industry careers, demonstrating techniques, and developing hands-on activities and projects. Instructors adapt activities to student age and experience, available materials, program objectives, and site requirements, while maintaining safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate practices. A brief session-completion form is required after scheduled instructional sessions. Programs may cover hairstyling, braiding, nail care and art, makeup, color theory, beauty design, industry careers, hygiene and sanitation, professionalism, customer service, entrepreneurship, personal branding, and portfolio projects. Curriculum, projects, materials, and objectives vary by assignment. Schools or Concorde Education may provide instructional resources; contractors may also use appropriate resources of their own. Purchases for which reimbursement is requested require Concorde Education’s written approval in advance. Opportunities are in person at partner schools and community locations. Schedules are typically 1–4 instructional hours per week, primarily after school, and many assignments run approximately 8–10 weeks. Start dates are rolling and depend on partner schedules. Compensation is set separately for each assignment; many opportunities start at $50 or more per completed instructional hour, with rates depending on assignment scope, qualifications and experience, location, scheduling, and program needs. Applicants may propose a rate. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is based on completed instructional hours with students and is generally made by direct deposit on the fifteenth day of the month following the service month. These are independent-contractor opportunities, not employee positions. Assignments may require onboarding, background checks, site clearances, fingerprinting, documentation, identification, or other legally required compliance steps. Selection for consideration or completion of onboarding does not guarantee an assignment.
