Bucks County Community College seeks an entrepreneurial and revenue-driven Vice President for Workforce, Public Safety, and Continuing Education to join our vibrant community and evolve our workforce & continuing education division into a more market-responsive organization that increases revenue through offerings that meet regional employer and workforce needs. Reporting directly to the President & CEO, the Vice President for Workforce, Public Safety, and Continuing Education fills a highly visible Cabinet level position who leads a diverse and fast-paced division and interacts with business leaders, government officials, and community partners. This person is responsible for executive leadership, strategic direction, and financial and operational oversight to expand delivery of education and training services to individuals, companies, organizations, and government agencies.
As a member of the Cabinet, the VP works collaboratively with colleagues across the College, from other institutions that form consortia to deliver regional workforce training, and with government and civic leaders in education and training for their agencies. This individual focuses on revenue and income-generating partnerships and offerings, workforce programming and talent pipeline initiatives, and public safety training for both police and fire services. Offices that directly report to the VP include the Center for Workforce Development, Continuing Education, Police Academy, Fire School, and Corporate & Customized Training.
