This individual must be able to translate real-world electrical experience into clear, engaging instruction while maintaining high standards for safety, professionalism, accountability, and student performance.

Formal teaching experience is preferred but not required. We are looking for someone who knows the trade, communicates clearly, and is committed to helping veterans build successful long-term careers.
