- Saskatchewan Polytechnic considers the diversity of our workforce to be one our leading strengths and greatest assets. Our employee diversity enhances our ability to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse student population. Currently, approximately 20% of our students are Indigenous. A continued emphasis on the development of a representative workforce is one of Sask Polytech’s strategic priorities and, as an organization, we are making significant efforts to attract and retain Indigenous employees.

Casual instructors are hired by the Department of Arts & Sciences to teach courses in times of high demand. As a casual instructor, you will be assigned full responsibilities for courses assigned to you (ie. preparing lessons, evaluating student progress, communicating with students and programs, etc.) over the course of the semester(s). Casual instruction in the Department of Arts & Sciences is not substitute teaching.
