Careers Job Description
General Description
The Borough of Manhattan Community College Center for Continuing Education and Workforce Development (BMCC) is seeking a creative and capable manager for its grant funded Integrated English Language and Civics Education (IELCE) program. IELCE is an innovative program that combines English language acquisition with high demand workforce productivity software training. Students are concurrently enrolled in technology training and ESOL classes that directly support the language demands of that training. The IELCE Coordinator must have demonstrated knowledge and understanding of office technology as well as a record of effective contextualized instruction in the ESOL classroom. Experience adapting and implementing I-BEST-model programs would be particularly relevant as would project-based learning models for English Language Learners. The IELCE Coordinator will be responsible for managing all aspects of the program within BMCC’s Center for Adult Education and Workforce Development, reporting to the Director of Adult Basic Education Programs. The IELCE Coordinator will be responsible for directing IELCE staff through the educational sequence of the program—from initial recruitment and assessment to placement in the multi-leveled IELCE program where students acquire marketable computer skills and high-demand, industry-recognized certifications leading to employment.
As part of the City University of New York (CUNY), the BMCC Adult Basic Education Program successfully serves the pressing language and literacy needs of the city’s academically underprepared and underserved adult learners in a seamless transition to post-secondary education and enhanced employment opportunities. High School Equivalency preparation and ESOL classes foster a positive climate of socially engaged collaborative learning in a college-going culture supported by comprehensive academic advisement and case management. Rigorous curriculum, implemented by experienced and professional staff, is teacher-developed, content-driven, and theme-based. Although a relatively small program, BMCC amplifies its effects with connections to a variety of community agencies and partners throughout lower Manhattan.
