(ex. ISSII, etc.)
description (please provide details
[form will expand as needed]
With the growing programs within Community and Economic Development (CED), the
need to strengthen planning and initiatives within the Strategic Plan and Education
Master Plan, and the foresight to prepare for better opportunities to tie programs and
grant initiatives to support student success, there is a great need to strengthen the
structure behind CED. Within CED, there is currently the Business Training Center,
Community Education, Not-for-credit, contact training, economic development, CR Plus
Senior Programming, adult education and community partner job training. The need to
support adult education and non-credit and to better link both functions to the existing
instructional and student development structure has been identified. CED is a selfsustaining program, has not incurred personnel or discretionary budget from the District,
and has created not-FTE revenue to enhance District programs and services.
This is not a new position. There is a job description and the position has previously
been filled.
Statement of Need (Justify the need for the position)
Community and Economic Development and adult education has increased focus and
opportunities for the District. There is a need to strengthen the oversight and planning in
this area to ensure programs are appropriately tied in with instruction and student
development, planning, assessment, collegial consultation, and community partnerships,
all in an effort to better meet the mission of the institution by ensuring the highest quality
programs and opportunities.
