Assignments vary by school, grade level, schedule, curriculum, available classroom resources, and program objectives. Concorde may provide curriculum guidance, lesson-plan suggestions, instructional resources, career exploration materials, or program objectives. Contractors may use their professional judgment to adapt instruction within the assignment scope and applicable site requirements. ASSIGNMENT SCOPE Depending on the accepted assignment, contractors may: • Plan and facilitate engaging, age-appropriate nursing and healthcare career exploration sessions; • Introduce students to foundational nursing concepts, healthcare professions, and patient-care principles through interactive activities and discussion; • Adapt instruction based on student experience levels, site requirements, available classroom resources, and program objectives; • Support students in exploring healthcare career pathways through demonstrations, case scenarios, collaborative activities, or career-focused 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; and • Follow applicable site safety, visitor, emergency, technology, and student-protection procedures.

Preferred backgrounds may include registered nurses, licensed practical/vocational nurses, certified nursing assistants, health science educators, nursing students, medical assistants, EMTs, allied health professionals, public health professionals, healthcare instructors, and others with relevant instructional or clinical experience. MATERIALS AND RESOURCES Assignments may utilize school-provided classroom technology, presentation equipment, curriculum resources, lesson plans, healthcare career exploration materials, demonstrations, and other instructional 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. When proposing a rate, contractors should consider the overall assignment scope, including anticipated preparation, planning, commute, materials, schedule, and other business considerations. Concorde may accept the proposed rate, decline the application, or provide a counteroffer based on the budget for the specific assignment. Unless otherwise approved in writing, compensation is based on completed instructional service hours with students.

Potential assignments are subject to 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 and until 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.
