 The
Mid-Pacific ICT Center is governed by its Regional Leadership
Council (RLC), consisting of (City College of San Francisco)
Center staff and (C0-) Principal Investigators - and its
Regional Partners.
MPICT currently has 4 Regional Partners: Cabrillo College,
Santa Rosa Junior College, Ohlone College and Foothill
College, which together with CCSF encompass the San Francisco
Bay Area.
Regional Partners receive about $25K annually to participate
in Center activities and governance and co-lead Center efforts
to positively impact ICT education in northern California,
northern Nevada, southern Oregon, Hawaii and the Pacific
Territories.
MPICT would like to add one new Regional Partner, starting in
the Fall of 2009. We would prefer someone at a community
college who already has serious momentum in a quality ICT
education practice, which could be scaled through the Center
to quickly make an impact throughout the region. We are also
interested in people who would help us make significant
progress in the Center’s currently stated goals:
1. Develop partnerships among higher education institutions to
increase and improve the region’s ICT education capacity.
2. Deepen and expand collaboration with industry to create an
ICT workforce that fully meets the region’s economic needs.
3. Identify, implement and disseminate ICT education best
practices in the region, working towards a standardization of
ICT competencies, skills and education approaches.
4. Develop fully articulated ICT education pathways and work
to implement them throughout the region.
5. Expand, diversify and improve the region’s ICT workforce.
6. Enhance linkages to global ICT educators and employers.
If you are a community college educator at an ICT related
program in the MPICT region interested in learning more about
this opportunity, or if you would like to recommend someone
for this opportunity, please email us at
