About The Opportunity
Concorde Education is seeking independent instructional contractors to provide 3D design and digital modeling enrichment services for K–12 students. This is an independent contractor assignment, not an employee position. Contractors may choose whether to apply for, accept, decline, or ignore available opportunities. Assignments vary by school, grade level, schedule, curriculum, available technology, and program objectives. Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson‑plan suggestions, project ideas, instructional resources, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements.

Assignment Scope

Introduce students to foundational 3D design concepts through project‑based learning

Adapt activities based on student experience levels, site requirements, available technology, and program objectives

Support students in creating digital models, prototypes, product designs, inventions, architectural concepts, or other final projects, where applicable

Maintain a safe, respectful, inclusive, and age‑appropriate learning environment

Communicate assignment‑related needs or significant concerns with Concorde and school staff, as appropriate

Complete a brief session completion form after each scheduled session

Follow applicable site safety, visitor, technology, emergency, and student‑protection procedures

Basic design‑thinking and prototyping concepts

Building 3D models using Tinkercad or similar design platforms

Exporting digital models and preparing designs for 3D printing, where applicable

Qualifications

At least 60 college credits, where required by the applicable assignment or site

Experience with Tinkercad or similar 3D design, CAD, modeling, engineering, architecture, fabrication, or digital design tools

Experience teaching, tutoring, coaching, mentoring, or leading activities with school‑age students

Strong communication, organization, and classroom facilitation skills

Availability to provide services for the accepted assignment schedule and communicate schedule issues promptly

Familiarity with Chromebooks, web‑based applications, educational technology, or related digital design tools

Preferred backgrounds may include educators, tutors, engineering students, architecture students, designers, makers, STEM professionals, fabrication specialists, and others with relevant instructional or technical experience.

Materials and Resources
Assignments may utilize school‑provided technology, Chromebooks, Tinkercad, web‑based design platforms, curriculum resources, lesson plans, project guidelines, and 3D‑printing resources where available. Contractors may use their own instructional methods and materials when appropriate, safe, age‑appropriate, lawful, and consistent with the assignment scope and site requirements. Purchases requiring reimbursement must be approved in writing by Concorde before they are incurred.

Compensation
Compensation varies by assignment and agreed contractor terms. Many opportunities pay $50+ per completed instructional service hour with students. Contractors may propose their desired compensation rate when applying and may be offered a counter‑offer based on budget. Unless otherwise approved in writing, compensation is based on completed instructional service hours with students. Payment for completed services is generally made by direct deposit on the 15th day of the month following the month in which services were completed, unless otherwise stated.

Application and Onboarding
Applicants selected to move forward may be invited to create a contractor profile and complete any required onboarding steps. Application, interview, invitation to create a profile, creation of a profile, or completion of onboarding does not guarantee selection, placement, or future assignment opportunities. Potential assignments depend on assignment fit, agreed compensation, completion of required onboarding, applicable background‑check review, Fair Chance or pre‑adverse action procedures where required, site‑specific clearance requirements, and final written confirmation from Concorde Education. Some assignments may require background‑check authorization, fingerprinting, agency clearance, site‑specific documentation, identification badges, or other compliance steps before services may begin. Applicants should not provide criminal‑history information unless requested through the appropriate legally compliant process.

Equal Opportunity
Concorde Education considers contractor applicants without regard to any status protected by applicable federal, state, or local law and is committed to respectful, inclusive, and student‑centered programming.
