Your impact 

Teaching Assistants (TAs) play a critical role in supporting ~50 Learners (as part of a larger class) in Correlation One’s virtual training programs. During that time, TAs will be expected to provide both synchronous and asynchronous support to Learners, ensuring their learning, comprehension, and retention of program content. We are preparing to launch two Data Center Technicians cohorts in January 2027:

Program Specific Information:

• Data Center Technician 11: Program dates: Jan 11th - April 30th, 2027; Lecture days/time: Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:00 pm - 2:30 PM ET

A day in the life 

Expectations during live (synchronous) sessions:

• Attend and proactively engage in the mandatory Pre-Program TA Onboarding. Dates and times will be announced. 
• Monitor appropriate Pumble channels (#c1-TA, #live-chat, #extra-help, and other relevant channels) for Learner questions and answer them promptly. 
• Check-in with Learners after each live session by asking how they’re feeling about the content, if they have any questions, or if there is anything that they need further clarity.
• Facilitate breakout rooms during lecture time, when applicable.
• Assist in keeping the session progressing should the Lead Instructor experience technical difficulty or is otherwise unable to deliver the lecture.

Expectations during days of no live sessions: 

• Monitor appropriate Pumble channels for Learner questions and answer them within 24 hours.

• Hold up to six (6) Individual Office Hours per week via Zoom or Google Meet with Learners in the program so they can ask any additional questions or get support as necessary.
• Grade Learner submissions of assignments within seven (7) days of submission.
• Support continuous program improvement by providing thoughtful feedback to Correlation One team via TA Weekly Write Ups.
• Submit weekly write-ups summarizing the week’s accomplishments and challenges and provide insights on each learner. This is due by Sunday each week.
