Job Description
Apply your experience to shape Mexico’s next generation of technicians and engineers.

Mexico’s polytechnic and technological universities identified a need to strengthen instruction for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to better equip students with the practical skills needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving workforce. These higher education institutions—similar to community colleges in the U.S.—focus on preparing technicians and engineers for fast-growing sectors, such as manufacturing, aerospace, information technology (IT), renewable energy, and advanced industry. Many institutions are expanding their English instruction, resulting in the need to strengthen teaching methods, lab practices, and industry-relevant competencies.

As the STEM Educator, you will collaborate with local educators to address gaps in active learning, technical skills, workplace communication, and job readiness. Alongside university staff, you will teach STEM courses in English, guide students through hands-on problem-solving activities,



and strengthen both the curricula and practical learning modules. Together, you will reinforce lab safety and operational routines, support employability skills, and align programs with industry needs. Your service will enhance students’ readiness for technical employment and contribute to the long-term capacity of Mexico’s polytechnic education system.

Required Skills
Bachelor's degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM), or in a related field (e.g., education) with a teaching certification.
AND
Two or more years of teaching experience in one of the following areas: math, chemistry, physics, computer science, biology, earth sciences, or art.
