Apply to Be An Adviser

As National College Advising Corps programs expand, new advisers are needed to serve in schools and community colleges throughout those states. Prospective advisers are encouraged to contact the program director for the Advising Corps at their college or university to find out whether openings exist. Program directors will explain the requirements, challenges, and benefits of serving with the Advising Corps, as well as the application process for becoming an adviser.

Though the exact procedures for hiring and placing new NCAC advisers differ from program to program, recruitment typically takes place during late winter or early spring of the academic year. Prospective advisers should be prepared to submit a resume, cover letter, and essay expressing their interest in becoming an NCAC adviser. The program director selects candidates to interview and after a meeting with the hiring committee, the new advisers are selected.
