Amy Martin
Educational Training Specialist
Amy Martin’s journey with Delaware Tech is a full-circle story of dedication, growth, and a passion for education. After graduating from the nursing (RN) program at the Stanton Campus in 2007, she joined the Workforce Development and Community Education (WDCE) division at the Wilmington campus as an adjunct instructor. For over a decade, she taught in healthcare certificate training programs—including Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), phlebotomy, and patient care technician—positively impacting countless students.
After stepping away in 2022, Martin returned to Delaware Tech’s WDCE division in 2024, this time in a new capacity as an educational training specialist. Now back at the Wilmington campus where her career began, she continues to support student success with the same energy and compassion that has defined her journey.
Q: What can you share about the journey that led you to become a staff member at Delaware Tech?
“I joined Delaware Tech’s Wilmington workforce development team as an adjunct instructor after graduating from the RN program at the Stanton campus in 2007. I helped coordinate and teach in healthcare certificate programs and remained in the position through the summer of 2022. As time went on, I began to miss the work, students, and atmosphere at Delaware Tech, just as a full-time position for an education training specialist opened, and here I am, back at it.”
Q: What is your favorite thing about working at Delaware Tech?
“One of my favorite things about working at Delaware Tech is that I get the same satisfaction from helping students as I do from helping patients. I enjoy witnessing their growth and achievements.”
Q: What challenges have you faced in your career, and how have you overcome them?
“Change! Everything always changes, and we must adapt to remain relevant. Continuing my education and adding experience to my skill set, however small, has helped me adapt.”

“I am growing professionally and personally and learning new ‘office’ skills.”
Q: Can you share a significant achievement or milestone in your professional journey?
