Sessional Instructor

Are you an experienced carpenter with your Red Seal? We are starting a Carpentry Apprenticeship program where we will begin teaching Carpentry Level 1 in the new year.

We also have an immediate opportunity, for a sessional - Core Construction Instructor, to teach inmates, in Federal Correctional Facilities, throughout the lower mainland. Most facilities are in the Abbotsford / Mission / Chilliwack area.

For corrections contracts, all inmates are vetted by correctional staff before attending training. The intention of the training is to provide job preparatory training to assist in obtaining employment upon release.

Training with an experienced instructor will be provided.

For Carpentry Level 1, we require a Red Seal level Carpenter, preferably with experience teaching.
