What is TechUp?

TechUp is an online training academy that runs bootcamps and courses for individuals wanting to start a career in tech. By broadening access to high-paying, high-quality jobs, we strengthen social and economic mobility in Thailand while also accelerating the country’s digital transformation. We are now partnering with Eskwelabs , a data bootcamp provider from the Philippines, to jointly launch a part-time Data Analytics Bootcamp in Thailand. Our first cohort of 20-30 learners will start in late October. We are looking for part-time Data Analytics Instructors with a passion for data and for developing others, who will equip our learners with the knowledge and skills necessary to start their career as Data Analysts.

What is this role?

Our Instructors will be the primary teacher that brings their existing knowledge of data tools and techniques to the learning experience. They will adapt our materials, prepare lessons and teach a specific set of topics in order to equip learners and give them the confidence to apply their newfound knowledge and skills after graduating from the program. Each instructor teaches for a “sprint” of 2 weeks. A sprint consists of the following schedule:

• Two Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, 18.00-21.00
• One Saturday (at the end of the Sprint), 13.00-16.00

Our first cohort will run from 28 October to 21 December. Each Instructor will teach for one of the following 4 sprints:

• Sprint 1: 28 October - 9 November
• Sprint 2: 11 November - 23 November
• Sprint 3: 25 November - 7 December
• Sprint 4: 9 December - 21 December

The role is fully remote.

Why is this role important?

You may be familiar with education and training experiences where the primary form of learning is through the interaction between the instructor and the student.

We believe in harmony among instructors, students, and mentors. As the instructor, you are the teacher who introduces concepts, tools, and skills to the learners in a Zoom classroom. Once they are set to work on their activities that lead to the building of their data projects, you send them off into breakout room sessions where they’ll be working with mentors (typically full-time data professionals). Each cohort is broken down into smaller groups of 5, where there is 1 mentor for every 5 learners. As the instructor, the mentors look up to you as inspiration and guidance.
