What they're hiring for right now: Welding instructors, Industrial Maintenance instructors, and Nursing instructors are the priority. These roles are paid at an instructor level — which means if you're currently earning a tradesperson's or practicing nurse's wage, the pay may be a step down. The college knows this, and they're candid about it: they're looking for people who are at a point in their career where they're ready to prioritize impact and stability over top-of-market pay.

A perk worth knowing about: Nursing instructors with an associate's degree can take advantage of a tuition waiver partnership with Eastern Kentucky University and Morehead State to earn their bachelor's or master's — essentially get your advanced degree paid for while you teach.

They're open to early-career candidates who may not have years of classroom experience, as long as the subject matter expertise is there. Teachability matters as much as credentials here.

Since 1981, every Chevrolet Corvette sold worldwide has rolled off one assembly line: the GM Bowling Green Assembly Plant. The National Corvette Museum, which opened in 1994 beside the plant, is both a serious automotive archive and a notable cultural destination that draws roughly 200,000 visitors a year. The museum's R8C Delivery Experience lets buyers take delivery of a new Corvette on-site.

In 2014, a sinkhole famously opened beneath the museum floor and swallowed eight cars — the now-restored "Sinkhole Attraction" has become part of the permanent collection. For residents, the plant means a real presence of skilled manufacturing jobs and an engineering community that feeds into the local economy and professional network.
