Foster a culture of excellence, accountability, and innovation within the workforce development team.
Oversee career navigation, job coaching, and barrier-reduction services that connect participants to employment, training, and credential pathways.

Manage and oversee Digital Skills Hub training programs that prepare participants for today’s digital workplace.

Ensure youth and young adult workforce programming is strategically aligned with adult workforce training, creating coherent “kindergarten-to-career” pathways in collaboration with the Director of Youth Programs and related program managers.

Partnership Development & Collaboration

Work in close partnership with the Business Solutions Manager to cultivate and manage relationships with employers, industry partners, educational institutions, and community organizations, ensuring that employer engagement activities are integrated across adult and youth workforce programs.
Coordinate with Client Success and Enrollment to ensure that employer and partner feedback is reflected in recruitment, intake, and retention strategies.
Represent the agency in workforce development coalitions, advisory boards, and cross-sector initiatives that strengthen community impact.
Develop new partnerships to enhance career pathways and expand participant opportunities.
Identify and ensure organizational connections to essential support solutions for adult learners (i.e., transportation, technology, and childcare).

Data, Evaluation & Reporting

Utilize data and performance metrics to evaluate program effectiveness, inform decision-making, and support continuous improvement.
Analyze data to assess participant progress, job placements, credential attainment, and retention rates.
Prepare reports for funders, partners, and leadership to demonstrate program outcomes and community impact.

Funding, Compliance & Reporting

Assist in identifying and pursuing new funding opportunities, including grants, fee-for-service contracts, and employer-sponsored initiatives.
Partner with the Chief Program Officer and development staff to support grant writing and reporting related to workforce and adult education initiatives.
Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations related to workforce programs.
Support budget development and track expenditures in collaboration with finance staff.
