Since 2006, our school has been a powerful resource across the US for students looking for bootcamp or non-traditional higher education. DWC enrolls students of all backgrounds and skill levels.
We are seeking a contract instructor to teach in our Data Analytics certificate program. This is a six month commitment at approximately nine class hours per week, delivered live and online.
The full curriculum and course materials have already been built, so you can step in and teach from day one. That said, we value academic creative freedom and actively encourage instructors to bring their own expertise, real world examples, and ideas to customize and strengthen the classes.
The ideal candidate has a focus on adult higher education, a patient teaching style, and a genuine commitment to student employment outcomes. This is an fixed rate contract teaching opportunity.
What you will be teaching
The Data Analytics certificate is a live, instructor-led program that moves through the core stack of tools and skills that data analyst roles require, in the sequence that builds genuine proficiency. The curriculum covers:
- SQL fundamentals and data retrieval, progressing to advanced joins, query optimization, and reporting
- Python fundamentals, then Pandas for data manipulation, exploratory analysis, and visualization
- Statistics and interpretation, including descriptive and inferential statistics and hypothesis testing
- Advanced Excel analysis and reporting
- AI and machine learning fundamentals using scikit-learn, including supervised and unsupervised learning, model evaluation, and applying AI tools to accelerate analytical work
- A final Capstone project that integrates the full stack into a single portfolio-ready deliverable, presented live to the class
