Teaching Opportunities

How Teachers are Hired

We occasionally get email from teachers and others asking about how they can work for College Now. Hiring for College Now is done by the individual colleges that participate in the program, and these colleges generally hire from the pool of faculty at their own institutions or from partner high schools.

In some cases, however, colleges may wish to look beyond those sources. For this reason, if you are interested in a College Now position, you have two options:

  • Target specific colleges by directly contacting the campus staff
  • Submit a resume to us here at the Central Office. We will post it to a resume bank in the password-protected staff section of this site. Interested campus administrators will have access to the bank.

Resume submitters, please note:

Campus staff are NOT notified of incoming resumes; they can check the resume bank as frequently or as infrequently as they wish. Directly contacting programs may be a more effective strategy!

Hiring Protocols Vary Based on Course Type

There are several different types of CN courses and activities. Teachers of pre-college courses (courses which don't carry college credit) are hired directly through campus College Now offices. However, those offices only recommend candidates to teach college-credit courses; academic departments at the college do the actual hiring.

Note to High School Teachers

In the past, we've received inquiries from high school teachers who want to know how they can go about teaching a College Now course for students who attend their school. Here's what we suggest in this situation:

  1. Check our list of participating high schools to determine whether your school has an established College Now partnership.
  2. If your school has a CN partnership, contact program staff at the partner college to express your interest. Note: In some cases, a high school may be partnered with more than one college.
  3. If your school does not yet have a CN partnership, consult with your principal to see whether CN seems like an appropriate program for your school. If it does, school staff can submit a Request for Partnership form. If College Now assigns your school a partner college, you would then be free to discuss teaching opportunities with staff at the partner campus.
