Career Education Deans

Each SDCCD institution has one or more designated lead career education deans and associate deans assigned to coordinate career education grant management (Perkins and Strong Workforce), participate in regional career education initiatives, and lead local and districtwide career education efforts including industry alignment, work-based learning, work experience, apprenticeship program management, job placement, career pathways, and joint partnership efforts with San Diego Workforce Partnership, and other related areas of work.

This districtwide group of lead career education deans and associate deans is convened monthly to support dialogue and coordination across the four institutions regarding career education projects, grants, and special initiatives. These meetings meet Perkins grant requirements. Standing agenda items include: Career Education Equity, Perkins, and Strong Workforce.

Career education grant programs and initiatives require a broad range of stakeholder engagement and data, reports, and resources to support ongoing program improvement, alignment, and student success and to meet grant requirements. The Career Education Data, Reports, and Resources page provides resources for San Diego City, Mesa, Miramar College and the College of Continuing Education for career education grant related reporting requirements and related activities.
