The National Labor College is the only regionally-accredited higher education institution devoted exclusively to educating union members, leaders and staff.   The College has recently launched three new fully- online bachelor’s degree programs for which it will be seeking adjunct faculty. 

The College hires adjuncts based on the needs of the institution and its programs.  Because our needs for faculty change quickly, having an application on file with us may be beneficial.

If you are committed to academic excellence and providing a dynamic learning experience in a fully-online setting, we invite you to submit your qualifications.
