Position Summary:

The Office of Continuing Professional Education, part of NJAES-Rutgers Cooperative Extension, invites applications for instructors to teach non-credit courses of varying lengths to youth and young adult learners on topics in college and career exposure, work skills, and job training.

Course topics throughout the year include but are not limited to the following: industry-recognized training programs; construction and landscaping industry trainings; music, media arts, and the entertainment industry; writing skills and creative expression; work readiness; financial literacy; and entrepreneurship.
