NVTI General Instructor (1099 Independent Contractor)
The National Veterans' Training Institute (NVTI) provides training on behalf of the U.S. Department of Labor, Veterans' Employment and Training Services (DOL VETS). The purpose of this initiative is to responsibly meet the employment, training, and job security needs of Americans who have served in uniform, those transitioning from military service, and their spouses. Management Concepts is contracted by DOL VETS to run the NVTI program.
NVTI Instructors deliver training courses in classroom, virtual, and asynchronous formats. Classroom training can occur throughout the United States and requires travel, while virtual and asynchronous classes are conducted remotely. Skill and experience with virtual and asynchronous course delivery is highly desirable.
NVTI Instructor Requirements:
NVTI Instructors must have significant experience in the workforce development environment. Experience providing services directly to job seekers, specifically Veterans and Employers seeking to employ Veterans, is highly desirable. Experience working in an American Job Center (AJC) or State Workforce Agency is most preferable.
Expert knowledge of the specific regulatory environment and practical application of US Department of Labor employment programs in the American Job Center network is required. Primarily knowledge of the Jobs for Veterans State Grants (JVSG) is required, but additional experience with other programs, such as Wagner-Peyser Act Grants and the Homeless Veterans' Reintegration Program (HVRP) is very useful. Instructors must maintain current knowledge on all changes to the relevant laws and regulations covered in the courses. Experience in reading, comprehending, and applying legal and regulatory information in your profession is essential.
Experience and/or direct knowledge of the specific challenges faced by Veterans seeking employment and the needs of employers seeking to employ Veterans is required. Instructors who are Veterans themselves have been very successful in this role.
