The College and the District:
The San Mateo County Community College District is home to Caada College, College of San Mateo, and Skyline College. All three of our colleges are designated as Hispanic Serving Institutions enrolling approximately 20,000 students each academic year.

Detailed information about the student population, including data related to student success, can be found on the San Mateo County Community College Districts Educational Services & Planning website.

Therefore, we prioritize applicants who demonstrate they understand the benefits diversity brings to a professional educational community. The successful candidate will be an equity-minded individual committed to collaborating with faculty, classified staff, administration, students and community partners who are also committed to closing equity gaps. The San Mateo County Community College District seeks employees who value mentorship and working in a collegial, collaborative environment, guided by a commitment to helping all students achieve their educational goals.



The Position:
The Community Education Coordinator is responsible for the leadership, development, and management of the Community Education Program operating at Skyline College, Canada College and College of San Mateo in the San Mateo County Community College District. The program provides fee based not-for-credit classes and programs for adult and youth education, enrichment programs, summer youth programs, sports camps, conferences and other courses and workshops. Working closely with the Director of Community, Continuing and Corporate Education and in close partnership with staff at the three college campuses, the Community Education Coordinator, utilizing exceptional entrepreneurial skills, will develop long term and short term strategic goals and objectives for Community Education programming that align with departmental, District and College strategic plan, mission and goals. Public contact is extensive and includes students, staff, other educational institutions, community and business representatives, governmental agencies and the general public, for the purpose of exchanging program information and services. A high degree of independent judgment and creativity is required to adequately represent the District and program, to serve as a technical resource person for the program, and to design original program components and services. Consequences of errors in judgment can be costly in public relations and in employee time; however, management controls limit the risk of more serious consequences.
