Employers
Automotive teachers work at high schools, vocational and technical colleges, and colleges and universities. Although schools are located in rural areas, more teaching positions are available in urban or suburban areas.
Starting Out
In addition to a degree, a training period of student teaching in an actual classroom environment is required. Students are placed in schools to work with full-time teachers.
College students can use their school's career services office and state departments of education to find job openings. Many local schools advertise teaching positions in employment Web sites and newspapers. Another option is to directly contact the administration in the schools in which you'd like to work. While looking for a full-time position, you can work as a substitute teacher. In more urban areas with many schools, you may be able to find full-time substitute work.
Many students begin applying for postsecondary teaching positions while finishing their college education. Some professional associations maintain lists of teaching opportunities in their areas. They may also make lists of applicants available to college administrators looking to fill an available position.
