Portland Community College (PCC) is seeking a Program Manager for its 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.

PCC 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.

As Program Manager you will partner with the college, Joint Apprenticeship Training Committees (JATC), state agencies such as Oregon’s Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI), and industry members.

• Bachelor’s degree in Education, Career and Technical Education, Adult Education, Social Science, Education Administration, Educational Leadership, Counseling, Rehabilitation, Accounting, Finance, Business Administration, or related field (or equivalent experience).

• Demonstrated ability to learn, apply, and adapt new information, skills, and behaviors.
