Protect our Land, Ascend with Us!

Ascension LLC seeks practical, engaging Microsoft instructors to support the Naval Supply Systems Command Workforce Development Division. You help federal employees automate routine work, turn data into useful reports and visuals, and apply analytics to everyday business decisions. We seek instructors who combine hands-on technical skill with the ability to explain concepts clearly to adult learners with varied experience.

Ascension provides program support, business intelligence, workflow automation, curriculum development and virtual training services. This opportunity supports thirteen virtual instructor-led courses: four Power Automate courses, four Power BI courses and five Data Analytics courses, each for approximately 20–25 federal employees. You may teach one or more tracks according to your demonstrated expertise; each instructor does not need to cover every track.

Role summary

You prepare and deliver hands-on lessons, demonstrations, learner guides and exercises that help employees apply Microsoft tools at work. Power Automate instruction addresses routine workflows and application integration. Power BI instruction helps learners turn raw data into interactive reports and visuals over two days. Data Analytics instruction addresses collecting, sorting, interpreting and presenting data using Excel, Power Apps and other relevant Microsoft tools.

You also coordinate assigned classes with Ascension and NAVSUP points of contact, distribute materials and access instructions at least one week before each class, and assist learners with virtual access. The ideal instructor is organized, self-directed and patient; anticipates technical obstacles; manages changing schedules; and adapts explanations without losing the learning objectives. Your focus is workforce training rather than ongoing production-system development.
