Arizona has nine community college districts; the Phoenix-area Maricopa County Community College District is the nation's largest. Information on full-time job opportunities in the colleges may be found at each district's website, usually under "Human Resources," but sometimes under "Employment" or "Jobs." Information on adjunct (part-time) work is generally obtained most easily by contacting an individual college and speaking with the administrator in charge of ESL (generally, though not always, the Chair of the English or Developmental Education Departments).

All of Arizona's community colleges require a minimum of a Master's degree in the field to be taught. Part-time positions in ESL are often available, but full-time ESL faculty openings are not numerous and are highly competitive. In normal hiring situations, full-time openings for Fall Semester are announced and filled during the preceding Spring Semester.
