 The Mid-Pacific ICT Center is governed by its
Regional
Leadership Council (RLC), consisting of (City College of San
Francisco)
Center staff and (Co-) Principal Investigators -
and its
Regional Partners.
MPICT had 4 original Regional Partners: Cabrillo College,
Santa Rosa Junior College, Ohlone College and Foothill
College, which together with CCSF encompass the San Francisco
Bay Area.
Last year, MPICT added as a Regional Partner Truckee Meadows
Community College in Reno, NV, which brought relationships and
collaborations with all Nevada community colleges through its
role in the Nevada IT Education (NVITE) project.
This year, MPICT would like to add a new Regional Partner,
representing either Hawaii or Oregon – or a Regional Partner
with a very high quality ICT education practice that we could
work together to scale out to others in the MPICT region.
Regional Partners are compensated to participate in Center
governance through the MPICT Regional Leadership Council (RLC).
Additionally, Regional Partners are invited to co-lead Center
efforts to positively impact ICT education in northern
California, northern Nevada, southern Oregon, Hawaii and the
Pacific Territories. The Center funds additional work as
projects.
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:
-
Develop partnerships among higher education institutions to
increase and improve the region’s ICT education capacity.
-
Deepen and expand collaboration with industry to create an ICT workforce that fully meets the region’s economic needs.
-
Identify, implement and disseminate ICT education best
practices in the region, working towards a standardization of
ICT competencies, skills and education approaches.
-
Develop fully articulated ICT education pathways and work
to implement them throughout the region.
-
Expand, diversify and improve the region’s ICT workforce.
-
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
