Teach For Us

Do you have a special skill, experience, interest or hobby you would like to pass on? We are always looking for new, enthusiastic instructors in lifelong learning, business and professional development, computers, and technical programs at our Auburn, Enumclaw and Kent campuses.

Guidelines

Here are some helpful guidelines to consider before proposing a new class:

• Is the class already being offered?

  Please check our current class schedule before writing a proposal to avoid proposing classes that we already offer.

• Is your class idea being offered by the college for credit, retail, commercial, or other colleges in the area?

  Continuing Education avoids offering classes that may complete with offerings from our credit classes, or other schools, businesses, or government agencies within our surrounding area.

• Are you currently teaching or considering teaching this course at other colleges in the area?

  Competing against yourself at a school or organization in the same service area can lead to low enrollments resulting in cancelled classes and disappointed students.

• Is your class wide enough in scope or the topic unique enough to appeal to the general population who enroll in Continuing Education courses?

  Some courses have limited audience appeal and do not work well in community or continuing education.

• What would a community member expect to pay for your type of class?

  Pricing a class is done by GRCC and is a complex process. Continuing Education is self-supported and therefore, do not receive any state dollars. The class fee we charge needs to cover college overhead expenses, the instructor salary, staff salaries, marketing, printed material, equipment use, etc.

• Are you proposing a class to promote your own business or consulting service?

  We do not sponsor workshops that are designed to sell or recommend products from your own business or promote your consulting service.
