OUR PROGRAM:
Our intense, 12-week program is designed to provide accessible, hands-on education to students from all walks of life. Classes take place directly in a dental office rather than in a traditional classroom - allowing students to learn in the very same environment they will eventually work in.

Demonstrate dental skills/procedures and assist students as they practice hands-on in the lab.
Evaluate individual/group performance and make any necessary adjustments to meet student learning needs.
Monitor student attendance and coordinate with our Administrative Office when absences occur.
Enforce classroom management (i.e. students are expected to be respectful, professional, and well-behaved; office workspaces and common areas are expected to be kept clean, etc.) and ensure that safety precautions are adhered to.
SALARY: Starting at $19/HOUR
MUST-HAVES:
Knowledge of the subjects covered in our curriculum, as well as the ability to convey them via lecture and hands-on demonstration.
Strong communication skills.
Basic computer skills such as emailing, printing, scanning, troubleshooting, connecting to WiFi, etc.
