Your impact

TAs play a critical role in teaching 30-45 learners (as part of a larger class) in Correlation One’s virtual Data Analytics training program. The TA commitment for our programs will be for fourteen (14) weeks. TAs will be expected to support synchronous sessions and provide asynchronous support to Fellows to ensure their comprehension and learning. This role is fully remote.

Program dates

The Forte Puerto Rico training program will be held for 14 weeks, from late October 2023 to late January 2024. Classes will be held on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm EST.

A day in the life

As a Teaching Assistant, you will provide training for participants by answering questions via live chat during lectures and hosting one-on-one and small group sessions with 30-45  assigned participants. This participant-to-teacher ratio is critical to the experience, letting TAs develop close participant bonds. Participants in the program will have some foundational skills with Excel and general computer literacy skills but will have minimal to basic technical skills before entering the program. The curriculum mainly includes Microsoft Excel, with minor Tableau, and SQL. We encourage applicants with skills in any or all of the above technologies.

The ideal candidate will be an excellent educator passionate about teaching and motivating students, especially adult learners. The role is fully remote and we’re hiring for a full-time TA (committing 15 hrs/week). 

The mission of this program is to help Puerto Rican citizens upskill their data analysis abilities to find higher-paying positions in fields like data analysis, marketing, product, and more.
