Would you like to use your professional expertise to train the electricians of the future in Greenland?

The electrician training program is moving to Sisimiut, and we are therefore looking for two dedicated electricians or installers who are eager to bring their professional expertise and practical experience to the classroom and help shape the skilled electricians of the future.

At KTI, you’ll have the opportunity to combine your professional expertise with teaching and help give students academic skills, self-confidence, and a desire to grow.

You don’t need to be a certified teacher. The most important thing is that you are a skilled professional who is eager to share your knowledge, engage students, and develop lessons together with your colleagues.

A JOB WITH PURPOSE

As a subject teacher, you’ll play a key role in the electrician training program at KTI. Together with your colleagues, you’ll design a curriculum that bridges theory and practice, so that students see a clear connection between what they learn in school and the real-world situations they’ll encounter as electricians.

At the same time, you’ll become part of a school that is constantly evolving, one that continually adapts its programs to the needs of the Greenlandic job market and to the young people and adults seeking vocational training.

KTI offers the introductory course of the electrician training program. The main course, H1, is not currently offered in Greenland, so students continue their education in Denmark. Instruction is primarily conducted in Danish.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

Together with your colleagues, your responsibilities will include, among other things:

  • plan, conduct, and evaluate instruction
  • develop the academic and pedagogical content of instruction
  • guide and support students' academic and personal development
  • combine theory and practice so that the instruction is perceived as relevant and practical
  • create a positive and motivating learning environment with a focus on well-being and professional development
  • collaborate with colleagues on the overarching theme, coherence, and quality of the program
  • stay up to date on developments in the electrical trade, including applicable laws, regulations, and standards.

WE’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO:

  • is a trained electrician or installer, or has equivalent documented qualifications
  • has several years of relevant professional experience in the field
  • want to teach, mentor, and share your professional knowledge and experience
  • are academically and technically curious and stay up to date in your field
  • is familiar with applicable laws, regulations, and standards
  • preferably has experience with or an interest in networks and alarm systems
  • is familiar with digital media and IT tools
  • is outgoing, committed, and focused on growth
  • thrives in a team environment and actively contributes to a positive collegial atmosphere
  • has knowledge of Greenlandic culture and society
  • is fluent in both Greenlandic and Danish.

Teaching experience is a plus, but not a requirement.

The most important thing is that you enjoy teaching, sharing your expertise, and making a difference for our students.

WHAT YOU GET AT KTI

At KTI, you’ll have the opportunity to apply your professional expertise in a new way while helping to develop vocational education and training programs in Greenland.

You’ll become part of a modern, well-resourced educational institution with well-equipped workshops, modern teaching materials, and dedicated colleagues.

We work closely together to ensure high academic standards and a positive daily experience for students and colleagues—with a focus on attracting, motivating, and retaining students.

As a new subject teacher, you’ll receive support and guidance from experienced colleagues. As part of your professional development, KTI will cover the cost of your basic teacher training (PG). The training takes place during work hours and may involve courses in other cities along the coast of Greenland.

We work together on KTI’s core mission:

The best education for students and course participants.
