Applied Leadership & Management Instructor

This is a full-time position in Applied Leadership and Management Applied Baccalaureate degree (Applied Leadership AB) that is designed to be offered as a cohort program, with students progressing through the coursework in two years of continuous attendance. Admitted students will have completed an AAS degree. The course schedule meets the needs of working adults through alternative scheduling, hybrid learning, and accelerated courses. The first year of the program focuses on introducing students to key concepts and skills that can be applied across public and private leadership roles, including understanding leadership concepts and how to effectively apply these in the workplace, budget and finance, and entrepreneurial thinking and management. Because students will be entering the cohort from a variety of technical fields, the second year of the program provides the opportunity to work in sector- specific groups with faculty who have experience in that sector, to engage in work- based projects, and to apply for credit for prior learning. In both years, students will complete general education coursework that connects these general fields of study to key practices in the workplace.

This is a 10-month, year-round academic cycle position covering the Summer, Fall, and Spring terms, with a scheduled seasonal break during the Winter term.
