Adults going back to learning something new don't want a lecture rehashed from a textbook. They want someone who respects their time and already knows what they're juggling outside the classroom. That's the person we're hiring for this
Virtual Continuing Education Instructor role. You'll run online courses and workshops built specifically for working professionals, not repurposed material meant for a different audience.
What You'd Own
This job covers more ground than a typical teaching role. You'll build course content, run live workshops and webinars, design learning modules, and check in on how students are actually progressing. There's no fixed split between the two. One month might be heavy on drafting new lessons at your desk, the next might be packed with live calls, and the ratio just depends on what's coming up.
Core Duties
- Turn a subject into a course adults will actually finish, leaning on scenarios and practice work instead of pages to read
- Plan and lead virtual workshops focused on skills that matter for career growth right now
- Design self-paced learning modules that work well across different devices
- Lead webinars on specialized industry topics for professionals looking to go deeper in their field
- Track learner progress through assignments and assessments, then give feedback that actually moves someone forward
- Sit down with subject matter experts to pull their knowledge into something teachable
Who We're Looking For
You'll need a background in adult education, instructional design, or a closely related field, plus real experience teaching or building content for a professional or continuing education audience. Adults walking into a course usually have a specific goal in mind, and not much tolerance for filler, which is a different dynamic than a traditional classroom, so teaching that group well is its own skill rather than something a generic teaching background covers.
You should be able to run a live session confidently, whether that's a small workshop or a webinar with a larger audience, and handle questions on the fly without losing the thread of what you're teaching.
Bonus Points For
- Experience building curriculum for distance learning programs specifically
- A track record leading professional development workshops in a corporate or association setting
- Comfort with virtual labs, simulations, or other hands-on digital learning tools
- Experience working directly with subject matter experts to shape raw expertise into a course
Pay and Practical Details
This role pays
$75,000 per year. Everything happens online, so you'll need a computer that can handle video calls, screen sharing, and course-authoring software without lagging. Given the mix of live sessions and content work, a stable schedule with some built-in flexibility works best.
Why Take This On
Naukri Mitra treats continuing education as a distinct specialty rather than a scaled-down version of standard teaching, and instructors here get the tools and time to design courses properly rather than rushing them out the door. You'll have direct input into what gets taught and how, not just execution of someone else's curriculum plan.
Instructors whose courses achieve strong completion rates and feedback scores gain first access to larger programs, including full curriculum builds rather than single workshops.
How the Team Operates
Course quality gets checked against actual learner outcomes, not just enrollment numbers. If a module isn't landing, that gets addressed while the course is still running rather than waiting for a full redesign cycle later. You'll also work closely with the people who know the subject matter best, so course content stays accurate and grounded in what's actually happening in the field.
How to Apply
Send in your application with a summary of your teaching or instructional design background, along with any workshops or courses you've built before. Strong candidates for this
Virtual Continuing Education Instructor role will hear back with next steps.
