Portland Community College (PCC) is seeking a Program Manager for the Apprenticeship Department. Apprenticeship is an important modality that allows students to earn a living while they learn. The interest in apprenticeships is growing at an amazing rate with many non-traditional apprenticeships being created in the state of Oregon.

The Program Manager position provides an exciting opportunity for a collaborative and visionary leader to work closely with the college, Joint Apprenticeship Training Committees (JATC), state agencies like Oregon's Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) and Industry Members. Internally, faculty and deans will look to this role to help with curriculum recommendations and alignment with state requirements. The position will lead a team to support and grow existing apprenticeships and explore new opportunities in non-traditional areas. The Apprenticeship department partners with five external JATCs and manages seven apprenticeships in Industrial Trades. Additionally, PCC is the educational provider for several JATCs within the state.

The Program Manager must bring a strong record of leadership, project management, and a commitment to championing the value of apprenticeship that supports access to family-wage careers. It will be critical for the Program Manager to partner and communicate collaboratively with internal and external partners to promote apprenticeship at Portland Community College.

Portland Community College is Oregon's largest higher education institution with four campuses and multiple centers located across the region. PCC is a student-centered organization that looks to continually innovate program offerings to ensure student access to high quality, up-to-date, and affordable educational opportunities.
