Minimum Experience: Five (5) full years of full-time work experience in K–12 education, with leadership experience in CTE, Linked Learning, or dual enrollment. DESIRABLE QUALIFICATIONS The ideal candidate is an equity‑driven, hands‑on systems builder and strategic leader with extensive leadership experience expanding college and career access within a K–12 educational system. They possess a comprehensive understanding of California’s K‑12 Strong Workforce Program (SWP), Cal-GETC transfer requirements, and the dual enrollment landscape, including CCAP agreements and Career Technical Education (CTE).

They excel at intentionally aligning coursework with high‑wage, high‑demand career sectors such as Health Care, Biotechnology, and Green Energy, and building dual enrollment pathways that lead to stackable certificates and degrees. Because this role requires both strategic leadership and hands‑on implementation, the ideal candidate must be comfortable leading system‑level change while also managing the daily operational details needed to make dual enrollment work across schools and colleges. This includes supporting master scheduling, standardizing course coding within student information systems such as MiSiS, coordinating with LACCD partners, developing shared pathway maps, monitoring student enrollment and completion data, and using dashboards to track progress toward measurable outcomes, including annual dual enrollment growth, increased course completion, and improved equity in student participation. The ideal candidate has a demonstrated ability to build collaborative partnerships with higher education institutions, district departments, school‑site leaders, counselors, CTE Linked Learning staff, and regional workforce partners. They are also experienced in managing grant‑funded initiatives, documenting outcomes, and using data to improve implementation.
