At Commonpoint, community is at the heart of everything we do. With more than 90 program sites and flagship locations in Little Neck, Bayside, Forest Hills, East Elmhurst, and Jamaica, we proudly serve over 125,000 individuals each year. From early childhood to older adulthood, we support people from all walks of life on their journeys from crisis to stability and empowerment.

Our wide range of programs, spanning social services, education, and recreation, reflects our mission to build a more connected, inclusive, and thriving community for all.

To continue advancing the impact we have across the communities we serve, Commonpoint is hiring a Full-Time Education Coordinator within the Adult Workforce Department
. The Adult Workforce Department provides employment and workforce development services to adult job seekers from diverse backgrounds, including individuals seeking to enter new careers, gain skills and achieve economic stability and growth.

The individual hired as a Full-Time Education Coordinator will coordinate and facilitate workforce development programs and training activities for adult job seekers preparing for careers in Direct Support Professional (DSP) and other in-demand fields. A portion of the role will focus on supporting DSP-related workforce training, while the remaining responsibilities will include coordinating and facilitating general professional development activities that build workplace readiness, career skills and support participants’ success across a variety of career pathways.

This is an adult workforce development and training position and is not a DSP or direct-care position. The Education Coordinator will not provide direct care or support services to individuals with disabilities. The role focuses on workforce program coordination, training facilitation, participant engagement and preparing adult job seekers for employment.

The Education Coordinator will facilitate engaging workforce development activities in both in-person and virtual settings, support program and curriculum implementation, adapt training materials and resources and create a supportive and professional environment that encourages participant engagement and successful completion of workforce development activities.

Additional workforce development topics and activities may be assigned based on department and program needs, with appropriate training and support provided.

The Education Coordinator will share their time between our Bronx and Queens locations to support our program needs. We look for the ability to commute reliably to either site on assigned days, with some flexibility for occasional evening and Saturday hours.
