Skilco

SKILCO is seeking an experienced construction professional to serve as the Construction Pathway Instructor for our first NCCER Core pilot cohort in Clarksville, Tennessee.

This is a defined independent-contractor engagement supporting a small cohort of four youth. The pilot includes approximately ten in-person meetings held every other week over about five months, along with assigned NCCER coursework between meetings.

The instructor will:

• Prepare and deliver approved NCCER Core content.
• Lead demonstrations, supervised practice, and technical safety.
• Support required knowledge assessments and in-person performance evaluations.
• Record attendance, participation, assessment results, makeup needs, and completion risks.
• Coordinate with SKILCO’s Program Manager and screened mentor.
• Follow SKILCO’s youth-safety, communication, privacy, incident-reporting, and documentation requirements.

Minimum qualifications:

• At least five years of verifiable construction or skilled-trades experience relevant to NCCER Core content, as required by ABC/NCCER.
• Ability to explain technical concepts to beginners and safely manage a small youth learning environment.
• Ability to commit to the full pilot schedule and associated preparation, evaluation, and documentation responsibilities.
• Willingness to complete the required ABC/NCCER instructor approval or training pathway.
• Willingness to complete SKILCO’s qualification, reference, background-screening, youth-safety, and onboarding requirements.
• Reliable communication and accurate recordkeeping.

Prior NCCER instructor, proctor, performance-evaluator, craft, OSHA, apprenticeship, CTE, or youth-training experience is preferred but not required beyond the applicable ABC/NCCER requirements.

The selected instructor will retain professional judgment over instructional methods while complying with the approved NCCER curriculum, agreed schedule and outcomes, youth-safety requirements, site rules, and documentation obligations. Compensation will be negotiated and documented in the final independent-contractor agreement.
