CLARK COLLEGE STEPS UP TO SUPPORT A name change and a new reporting structure are among the changes VANCOUVER, Wash. -- To stay competitive, business leaders know that they have to streamline systems, eliminate duplication and make the best possible use of their resources. To better support workforce education in Southwest Washington, Clark College is doing just that. The changes began during the summer of 2007 when the college’s Workforce Development unit became part of the college’s office of Instruction. Following recommendations from a college taskforce, new changes have been announced. The name of the unit is being changed from “Workforce Development” to “Workforce Education.” Clark College President Robert K. Knight said, “We think that workforce education better defines our role in helping workers learn the skills they need to get and keep jobs and advance in their careers.” In addition, the college is restructuring three positions in the office of Instruction and the former Workforce Development Unit. The new positions are:
The college is conducting nationwide searches for the Dean of Instructional Planning and Operations and Director of Workforce Education and Economic Development positions. Knight noted, “I firmly believe that these changes will help us better utilize our resources and, most of all, better serve the needs of our students and the community.” -30- |
