About the Role

The Company is seeking a Dean for Workforce Training and Continuing Education. The successful candidate will be responsible for the strategic development, implementation, and evaluation of programs that meet the needs of the region and align with the institution's strategic direction. This role involves providing leadership in the creation of non-credit training and education programs, including those for workforce and corporate training, lifelong education, and career and technical training.

The Dean will also be tasked with ensuring that these programs are in line with the company's mission, vision, and values, and that they effectively serve the community and industry partners.

Applicants for the Dean position must have a Master's degree with a focus on business, higher education, or a related field, and at least six years of experience in a similar capacity. The role requires expertise in curriculum and program development, excellent communication skills, and a strong background in proposal writing, grant management, and reporting. A deep understanding of the local and regional economic landscape, particularly in resource-based industries, is essential.

The ideal candidate will be a highly engaged and collaborative leader, capable of managing staff, operations, and budgets, and will have a proven track record of working with diverse stakeholders, including government, business, and community organizations.

Experience with Indigenous communities and a network of industry and business relationships in the region are preferred.
