UW Continuum College expands the reach of the University of Washington by delivering educational programs that meet the needs of learners at all phases of their lives. We’re focused on removing obstacles to relevant educational opportunities by addressing geographic, financial, length of commitment, and time constraints, increasing access to knowledge for more people. As a diverse community that values inclusivity and collaboration, we foster a respectful, supportive workplace where innovation comes to life. By looking ahead and experimenting with new approaches, we’re creating new educational opportunities to help people thrive in a world of change.

UW Continuum College (UWC2) has a range of outstanding opportunities for part-time course developers who will provide subject matter expertise and create/revise content for new or existing Professional & Continuing Education (PCE) Business & Leadership non-credit Certificate programs. The Course Developer works with an instructional designer, program manager, and video production specialist to create content that is relevant to adult learners seeking to expand skills and accelerate their careers. In some cases, the developer will create a curriculum map, which provides a high-level outline of the program. In other cases, a curriculum map will already be in place and the role is focused on building the content of each lesson.

The pay range for these positions is $25-100 per hour, commensurate with experience and qualifications. Length of assignments and shifts vary depending on specific staffing needs of individual courses and programs.
