The CCWC represents a single point of contact for regional partners to access workforce training resources and coordination for the partner colleges which together serve 14 localities through 10 locations. Through CCWC coordination, the partner colleges leverage their expansive facilities, labs, and collective expertise to address the sizeable training needs in industries like shipbuilding / ship repair, infrastructure, and the emerging offshore wind industry. Instructors hired by the CCWC are eligible to teach at any of the partner schools based on their availability and course needs.

Skilled Trades Instructors provide instruction, support, assessment, and mentorship to Community College non-credit learners. Instructors are required to fully participate in the mission and community of the college. The major emphasis shall be on teaching, by working with non-credit program participants in classrooms, laboratories, clinical sites, field sites, distance learning, individual conferences, and related contexts to help learners develop their interest and abilities to the fullest.

This Skilled Trades Instructor position will be contracted on a course-by-course basis based on Instructor availability and will not exceed 1500 contracted hours per year.
