The Opportunity
Academic Services is focused on supporting SAIT’s schools and departments in their pursuit of SAIT’s strategic priorities. Academic Services brings together several academic development, delivery, and quality assurance units with a common goal: student success. Academic Services provides unique, flexible support programing designed to help learners succeed in their chosen SAIT career program.
We are currently hiring casual instructors to teach Communication Studies courses starting in Winter 2025. The courses to be taught are primarily focused on business and technical communication and writing rather than academic writing. The courses are scheduled to run as daytime offerings and can be scheduled Monday to Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Because the courses are taught in person you must live within commuting distance of SAIT’s main campus in Calgary. Reporting to the Academic Chair, Communication and Liberal Arts Studies, you have a passion for teaching diverse students, thrive on sharing knowledge, and enjoy coaching students to succeed and think critically. You will be responsible for teaching communication and interpersonal skills through an experiential (task-based) learning lens.
