The College of Business Administration at California State University San Marcos seeks a part-time lecturer(s) for Fall 2024 to teach Business 300: Business Professional Development, one of our Signature Programs. This required 2-unit course enhances students’ professional skills by teaching interactive lessons pertaining to career exploration, soft skill development (AKA employability skills), and job search strategies. There are multiple sections available for this course which meets for one 2-hour session per week and may require virtual instruction as needed.

This position requires facilitation skills that aim to increase our students’ career confidence. The candidate should be professionally engaged for at least the past 8 years and have knowledge of industry trends for career development practices.

This course is unlike other career development courses in that we incorporate executive coaching into the classroom requirements. Executive in Residences (EIR) Coaches work alongside instructors to ensure that students meet the required coaching requirements and self-reflective assignments. Recognizing that EIR coaches are volunteers, candidates should be able to foster a team environment with assigned coaches and ensure timely and frequent communication.
Course Description: Develops students as business professionals. Focuses on identifying career options that align with interests, values, and skills, as it relates to pursuing a position in one’s desired field. Emphasizes professional and effective interactions with others. Culminates with an Individual Development Plan to help students clarify short- and long-term career goals and create an action plan to reach those goals. Pre-business core courses may be taken simultaneously with BUS 300.
