Renton Technical College is looking for dynamic communicators and high-energy presenters to help launch our new Content Creation & Social Media Marketing certificate, which is part of our popular Entrepreneurship program. We’re hiring multiple adjunct instructors who know how to capture videos that get views, engage a target online audience, and explain digital marketing in a way that gets people genuinely excited. Don’t worry if you’ve never taught before: if you have real-world skills and the ability to make complex ideas click, you may be exactly what we need!

Teaching assignments may vary by quarter and include face-to-face, online (synchronous/asynchronous), hybrid, and Flex modalities.

We acknowledge that RTC sits uninvited on the ancestral land of the Puget Salish people, including the Duwamish, Suquamish, Snoqualmie, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot Nations.  We are grateful to the original inhabitants of this land, upon which we gather and dialogue. We also acknowledge our increasingly virtual world, in which RTC’s work is done across multiple indigenous lands, in some cases, away from Puget Salish territories. We thank the original caretakers of our local lands and waters, who are still here.      

Beyond acknowledgment, we each have an obligation to learn about and support our local tribes. Find out how on our resources page, which includes scholarships for Indigenous students.
