The mission of the continuing education department is to serve as a dynamic resource for personal, workforce, and business development. We offer a wide range of non-credit courses, customized training, and off-campus credit courses. As an auxiliary account within the college, we must be financially self-sufficient. Every dollar that we generate goes towards our efforts to create, market, and support our programs. One way we seek to fulfill our mission is to partner with instructors, consultants, businesses, and community service organizations to offer high quality, adult focused, learner-centered, skill-based courses and training. We have one focus…student success. Continuing Education provides courses through open enrollment (on-site and distance learning), contract training, and consultation. Our audiences are wide ranging and include individuals seeking to learn English or an additional foreign language for personal or career reasons; businesses seeking to upgrade the skills of their workforce or to optimize business operations; individuals seeking to re-enter or upgrade their position within the workforce; individuals seeking to gain a new skill for personal enrichment; or, an individual seeking to receive counseling and training to start up or expand an existing business. Types of Teaching Arrangements There are three types of teaching arrangements that the department and its centers enter into with individuals and organizations: Non-Credit Adjunct InstructorsThese individuals become employees of the college as non-credit adjunct instructors. For most courses, but not all, the course learning objectives, guidelines, and text are set by the continuing education department. Instructors have the freedom and are expected to create lessons plans and instructional activities that will support students in meeting those learning objectives. They report to and receive teaching assignments from continuing education program directors. If you are interested in teaching as an adjunct instructor: - Please read through the Policies and Guidelines.
- Email our programming director:
- Your contact information
- Your resume
- List of courses that you would like to teach
Back to Top Contract TrainersThese individuals serve as independent contractors of the college. A majority of the time they provide instruction for customized contract training to companies and organizations that are clients of Front Range Community College. For most training, the learning objectives are co-created by the client company or organization, the continuing education department, and the contract trainer. Similar to the adjunct instructors the contract trainers are expected to create training sessions and other instructional activities that will support students in meeting the established learning objectives. They report to and receive training contracts from continuing education program directors. If you are interested in providing contract training, please email our programming director: - Your contact information
- Your resume
- List of courses that you would like to teach
Back to Top Community PartnersThese individuals or organizations serve as independent but sponsored entities of the college. Similar to the contract trainers, they serve as independent contractors of the college. Unlike the adjunct instructors and contract trainers these individuals or organizations create all of the course content for the courses they offer. Community partners submit a course proposal form to the continuing education department. If the proposal is accepted the partners work with continuing education program directors.
