A student who's never touched a tool before needs to be job-ready in twelve weeks. That's the actual assignment behind this posting, and it's harder than it sounds when the whole thing happens over video instead of standing next to someone at a workbench, correcting their grip or posture with a hand rather than words.
We need someone who's done that before, or who's confident they can figure it out fast. You'll be teaching a vocational skill entirely online, and the students on the other end of the call range from people switching careers in their thirties to twenty-year-olds who've never held a job in the field at all. Different pace, different worries, same course, and somehow you have to keep both groups moving forward at once without either one checking out.
If none of that sounds intimidating, keep reading. If it does sound a little intimidating, keep reading anyway. Most people who end up being great at this job felt the same way before their first session.
Day to Day
Live sessions happen over video. Alongside those, you'll put together self-paced modules for students working outside your scheduled hours. Some days you're demoing a technique on camera for the fourth time because the lighting was wrong the first three. Other days you're rewriting a unit at 9 pm because half the class got stuck on the same step and the material clearly needs fixing, not the students.
There's no fixed script handed to you. If a lesson isn't landing, you're the one who reworks it. If something would teach better as a short recorded clip than a live lecture, switch it. That's more responsibility than a lot of teaching jobs give you, and also, frankly, more interesting.
What Fills the Week
- Live virtual sessions covering the core vocational skill set
- Case studies and practice scenarios built around real workplace situations
- Grading, with feedback that actually points at what went wrong instead of a generic comment
- One-on-one check-ins for students who are stuck or want to move faster
- Keeping the course material current as tools and industry practice shift
- Occasional coordination with other instructors so course content doesn't drift apart
- Watching for students who are quietly falling behind before it becomes a bigger problem
The Basics We Need From You
A
Bachelor's degree in education, vocational training, or something close to it. And at least
2 years of teaching or training experience. Classroom or on-the-job, we don't care which, as long as you've actually stood in front of learners before and had to make something click for them.
We also expect you to be reasonably self-directed. Nobody's going to walk you through setting up your first video call or building your first lesson plan step by step. If you need a lot of hand-holding with the basics, this probably isn't the right fit yet, though it might be later, once you've got a semester or two of remote teaching under your belt elsewhere.
Past that, here's what we're really screening for: can you take a physical, hands-on skill and explain it clearly to someone who can't see your hands? A lot of the strongest instructors we've hired weren't especially techy to begin with. They were just good at explaining things, and the rest was a matter of learning the software.
- Bachelor's degree, minimum, in education, vocational training, or a related field
- 2+ years teaching, training, or instructing in some capacity
- Basic comfort with video conferencing tools and a learning management system
- Can explain a concept out loud in a way that doesn't rely on being in the room
- Comfortable building lesson plans and grading rubrics without close supervision
- A workspace quiet enough, and a connection stable enough, for live teaching
Not Required, But It Helps
- A teaching certification or a recognized vocational credential
- Having built a self-paced or asynchronous course before
- Some familiarity with tracking student engagement through analytics tools
- Experience specifically with adult learners or people changing careers
- Hands-on background in the trade you'd be teaching, beyond just teaching it
Pay and What Comes With It
$84,000 a year. Along with that:
- Remote work, with scheduling flexibility built around your live sessions
- Health coverage that extends to eligible dependents
- Paid holidays and personal leave
- A yearly allowance for certifications, courses, or conferences
- A bonus tied to how students actually do, not just attendance
- Money toward setting up a proper home office
The Team You'd Join
It's a small group. Curriculum designers, program coordinators, a handful of other instructors teaching different trades. When something in a course isn't working, people notice quickly, and it gets fixed, rather than sitting broken for a whole term because nobody flagged it. Nobody's hovering over your shoulder either. You get real latitude to run your section the way you think makes sense.
Worth mentioning: this listing tends to draw a lot of applicants quickly when it goes up on Naukri Mitra, so it's best not to wait too long if the role sounds like a fit for where you're at right now.
A couple of things worth knowing going in: we care much more about whether a student can actually do the job afterward than about whether attendance looked good on a spreadsheet. If a module is confusing people, we'd rather you take the time to fix it than push through it anyway. And we trust instructors to tell the difference between a student who needs a nudge and one who just needs to struggle through something on their own for a bit.
We also try not to bury people in repeat work. A lesson format that's working gets reused, not rebuilt from scratch every semester out of habit. New instructors get paired with someone already teaching in the program for their first month, so you're not guessing your way through it alone.
Applying
Send a resume and a short note: what would you teach, and what's your experience with remote or blended instruction so far? If you've built or reworked a course before, mention it, or just drop a link. That tells us more than a formal cover letter would. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we reach out directly to people who appear to be a strong match.
