ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide business, finance, financial literacy, and entrepreneurship enrichment services for K–12 students.

This is a potential independent contractor assignment, not an employee position. Contractors may choose whether to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities.

Assignments vary by school, grade level, schedule, curriculum, classroom resources, available technology, and program objectives.

Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, project ideas, instructional resources, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.

ASSIGNMENT SCOPE

Depending on the accepted assignment, contractors may:

• Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate business, finance, and entrepreneurship sessions;

• Introduce students to foundational financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and business concepts through interactive discussions and project-based learning;

• Adapt instruction based on student experience levels, site requirements, available resources, and program objectives;

• Support students in developing business ideas, budgets, marketing plans, financial decision-making skills, presentations, or other entrepreneurship-related projects, where applicable;

• Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age-appropriate learning environment;

• Communicate assignment-related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff, as appropriate;

• Complete a brief session completion form after each scheduled session; and

• Follow applicable site safety, visitor, classroom, technology, emergency, and student-protection procedures.

EXAMPLE PROGRAM TOPICS

Assignments may include topics such as:

• Budgeting, saving, spending, and financial goal setting;

• Banking, credit, debt, and responsible financial decision-making;

• Introductory investing, compound interest, and long-term financial planning;

• Entrepreneurship, innovation, and identifying business opportunities;

• Business planning, pricing, revenue, expenses, and profit;

• Marketing, branding, customer service, and product development;

• Communication, leadership, teamwork, and professional presentation skills; and

• Careers in business, finance, economics, entrepreneurship, and related industries.

Specific curriculum, project requirements, instructional activities, and available resources vary by assignment.

QUALIFICATIONS

Preferred qualifications include:

• At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site;

• Experience in business, finance, accounting, economics, entrepreneurship, marketing, management, banking, investing, or related professional disciplines;

• Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, training, or leading activities with school-age students;

• Strong communication, organization, and classroom facilitation skills;

• Availability to provide services for the accepted assignment schedule and communicate schedule issues as soon as reasonably practicable; and

• Ability to explain business and financial concepts in an engaging, practical, and age-appropriate manner.

Preferred backgrounds may include educators, entrepreneurs, business owners, accountants, financial professionals, economists, marketing professionals, business students, MBA candidates, college instructors, and others with relevant instructional or industry experience.

MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

Assignments may utilize school-provided curriculum resources, lesson plans, presentation materials, financial literacy activities, business simulations, Chromebooks, web-based applications, and other instructional resources, where available.

Contractors may use their own instructional methods and materials when appropriate, safe, age-appropriate, lawful, and consistent with the assignment scope and site requirements.

Purchases requiring reimbursement must be approved in writing by Concorde before they are incurred.

COMPENSATION

Compensation varies by assignment and agreed contractor terms. Many opportunities pay $50+ per completed instructional service hour with students.

Contractors may propose their desired compensation rate when applying. When proposing a rate, contractors should consider the overall assignment scope, including anticipated preparation, planning, commute, materials, schedule, and other business considerations.

Concorde may accept the proposed rate, decline the application, or provide a counteroffer based on the budget for the specific assignment.

Unless otherwise approved in writing, compensation is based on completed instructional service hours with students.

Payment for completed services is generally made by direct deposit on the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which services were completed, unless otherwise stated in the accepted assignment terms or required by applicable law.

APPLICATION AND ONBOARDING

Applicants selected to move forward may be invited to create a contractor profile and complete any required onboarding steps.

Applying, interviewing, receiving an invitation to create a profile, creating a profile, or completing onboarding does not guarantee selection, placement, or future assignment opportunities.

Potential assignments are subject to assignment fit, agreed compensation, completion of required onboarding, applicable background-check review, Fair Chance or pre-adverse action procedures where required, site-specific clearance requirements, and final written confirmation from Concorde Education.

Some assignments may require background-check authorization, fingerprinting, agency clearance, site-specific documentation, identification badges, or other compliance steps before services may begin.

Applicants should not provide criminal-history information unless and until requested through the appropriate legally compliant process.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

Concorde Education considers contractor applicants without regard to any status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law and is committed to respectful, inclusive, and student-centered programming.
