Workforce AI & Applied Technology Instructor (Part-Time)

CSI Workforce Training and Development is seeking a forward-thinking, practical, and engaging AI & Applied Technology Instructor to deliver non-credit training programs for local businesses, professionals, and community members.

This role is not academic in the traditional sense—it is focused on translating emerging AI tools and concepts into real-world business application. The instructor will help demystify artificial intelligence and empower participants to use tools such as generative AI, automation platforms, and data-driven decision support in their daily work.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on experience with modern AI tools and the ability to teach in a way that is approachable, relevant, and immediately useful.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and deliver short-term, non-credit training programs in areas such as:
  • Practical use of generative AI tools (e.g., chat-based AI, content generation, workflow automation)
  • AI for small business productivity and efficiency
  • Prompting techniques and responsible AI use
  • AI in marketing, operations, customer service, and decision-making
  • Introductory AI literacy for non-technical audiences
• Translate complex and rapidly evolving technology into clear, usable, real-world applications
• Build hands-on, workshop-style learning experiences where participants leave with skills they can immediately apply
• Customize training for local employers and industry-specific use cases when needed
• Partner with Workforce Training staff to identify emerging AI training needs in the region
• Incorporate best practices around ethical use, data awareness, and responsible implementation
• Stay current on trends, tools, and practical applications of AI in business environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field or equivalent professional experience (technology, business, data, or related areas)
• Demonstrated hands-on experience using AI tools in a professional or business setting
• Experience training, teaching, or facilitating adult learners preferred
• Ability to communicate technical concepts in a clear, non-technical, accessible way
• Experience working with small businesses, teams, or community-based organizations strongly preferred

Core Competencies

• Ability to simplify complex ideas into practical takeaways
• Strong facilitation and engagement skills with adult learners
• Adaptability in teaching diverse audiences with varying levels of technical familiarity
• Curiosity and continuous learning mindset in an evolving field
• Focus on application, not theory

Work Environment

• Courses are typically delivered in short-format sessions (workshops, series, or contract trainings)
• Delivery may occur at CSI, employer sites, or community locations
• Flexible scheduling based on demand (including evenings or customized sessions)
• Opportunity to pilot and expand new AI-focused programming as community needs grow

Ideal Candidate Profile

This role is best suited for someone who:

• Actively uses AI tools in their own work—not just understands them conceptually.

• Thinks in terms of “how does this help someone do their job better tomorrow?”
• Can bridge the gap between emerging technology and everyday business use.
