Education:

San Bernardino Valley College is seeking three CAEP Transition Counselors to support the California Adult Education Program pathway connecting K-12 adult education sites to postsecondary education and workforce opportunities. Transition Counselors provide individualized guidance to adult learners, assisting with education planning, career exploration, and completion of the full matriculation process. They identify and address barriers to enrollment and persistence by connecting students to campus and community resources while collaborating closely with adult schools and consortium partners.

This role advances seamless transitions, equitable access, and improved student outcomes within the Inland Adult Education Consortium.

Additional Representative Duties:

* Onsite work at adult education school sites.

Honors/Transfer Center:

The Honors Program is designed for our community's most ambitious and intellectually critical scholars seeking a deeper engagement in their college experience. Students in the San Bernardino Valley College Honors Program engage in enhanced experiences, faculty mentorships, and academic opportunities to earn an advantage in transferring to the four-year institution of their choice.

Though the Honors Program encourages all students wishing to take one of these courses to enroll in the Program, a student need not be in the Program to enroll in an Honors course. These courses have been IGETC-approved and are transferable to accredited 4-year colleges. These courses count toward completion of the SBVC Honors Program, and selected courses count for pre-major credit.

Middle College:

The Middle College High School Program supports and collaborates with the Middle College High School (MCHS) whose student population consists of 80% advanced achievement (GPA ranging from a minimum of 1.8 to a 3.49) and 20% high potential (GPA of 3.5 or higher). SBVC and MCHS work in collaboration to provide a professional and supportive environment that allows students to thrive.
