If you are considering a new job, work environment or career opportunities you should look at Mercer County Community College.

In order to support that mission Mercer seeks to attract, retain, and support a skilled diverse workforce which is our most valuable resource. We thrive on and are proud of our diversity and open access. Our students and employees find the College large enough for a multitude of offerings yet small enough to keep the "Community" feel for all.

As part of the comprehensive and valuable benefits package the College offers credit course tuition waivers for employees, spouses and dependents.
