Cosmetology and Beauty Enrichment Instructor Opportunities
About The Position
Concorde Education partners with schools and community organizations to provide enrichment programs introducing students to new skills, interests, and potential career pathways. The company is seeking professionals with experience in cosmetology, beauty, hairstyling, makeup, nail technology, barbering, esthetics, fashion, or related fields to provide instructional services for K–12 enrichment programs. Students may be in elementary, middle, or high school, depending on the school partnership and assignment. These are independent-contractor opportunities, not employee positions. The posting identifies professionals who may be considered for future assignments. Contractors can choose which opportunities to pursue and may accept, decline, or disregard any offered assignment. Assignment availability, schedule, duration, location, scope, and compensation vary according to partner needs, and no minimum number of assignments, instructional hours, or future opportunities is guaranteed. Assignments may include facilitating engaging, age-appropriate sessions; introducing students to cosmetology skills and beauty-industry career pathways; demonstrating techniques; and leading hands-on activities and projects. Instructors are expected to adapt activities to students, resources, objectives, and site requirements while maintaining safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate practices. A brief session-completion form is required after scheduled instructional sessions. Instruction may cover hairstyling, braiding, nail care and art, makeup, color theory, beauty design, cosmetology careers, hygiene and sanitation, professionalism, customer service, entrepreneurship, personal branding, and creative portfolio projects. Curriculum, projects, materials, and objectives vary by assignment. Schools or Concorde Education may provide resources and supplies; contractors may also use suitable materials of their own. Purchases for which reimbursement is requested require written approval in advance. Compensation is set separately for each assignment. Many opportunities start at $50 or more per completed instructional hour with students; the specific rate depends on assignment scope, qualifications and experience, location, scheduling, and program needs. Applicants may propose a rate, but Concorde Education may accept it, counteroffer, or select another applicant. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is based on completed instructional service hours and is generally made by direct deposit on the fifteenth day of the month following service, subject to assignment terms and applicable law. Selected applicants may be invited to create a contractor profile and complete onboarding or assignment-specific requirements. Before services begin, assignments may require agreed compensation, background checks, site clearances, fingerprinting, identification, documentation, or other legally required compliance steps. Concorde Education considers qualified contractor applicants with criminal histories consistent with applicable New York State and New York City Fair Chance laws. It is committed to equal opportunity and respectful, inclusive, student-centered programming.
