Part-Time Instructor: Accelerated Certificate Program in International Business Operations & Management

The Division of Continuing Education (DCE) is a self-supporting unit within the University of California. Funding is generated through fees collected from a diverse, complex, and ever-changing student population. Part-time instructor positions are on a course by course contracted basis. This is NOT a faculty position.

On-ground teaching positions are now available in the Accelerated Certificate Program in International Business Operations & Management (ACP IBOM). We are seeking qualified instructors with current knowledge and work experience in international business operations and management who can create an interactive and engaging learning environment for international students.

For this program, international students come to the UC Irvine campus to take classes related to international business operations and management. For more detailed information about ACP IBOM, please visit the website. Course topics include: International Business Strategy, International Finance, International Marketing, Intercultural Communications and Negotiations, International Trade and Supply Chain, and the International Business Planning Capstone course. All classes are on-ground, daytime classes that meet Monday-Friday.
