Colorado Nonprofit Association

Director, Apprenticeships

Who We Are
With three campuses along Colorado’s Front Range, FRCC is the state’s largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.

Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the “Top Online Colleges” in the country by Newsweek.

One of FRCC’s main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college’s strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment—one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC’s focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.

The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.

FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We’re looking to hire people who share these values—along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence.

Who You Are
As the Director of Apprenticeships at FRCC, you will lead our efforts to expand and enhance apprenticeship programs, ensuring impactful outcomes for employers and apprentices across the communities we serve. Your role will be pivotal in advancing the college’s strategic goals of enrollment growth and workforce development. You will develop and guide apprenticeship opportunities across various sectors, including healthcare, advanced manufacturing, business/financial, and information technology. Engaging with employers, you will identify and create apprenticeship opportunities, supporting them in developing apprenticeship standards and sponsorships. Additionally, you will leverage existing programs or create new credit and non-credit offerings to provide relevant technical instruction and support for apprenticeships. Supervising and supporting a dedicated team, you will manage apprenticeship implementation, student support, and sponsorship management. Ensuring FRCC maintains a strong presence and achieves significant outcomes in local, state, and national apprenticeship ecosystems will be a crucial part of your responsibilities.

This position does have the opportunity to work remotely occasionally, but does require a strong on-campus presence and will need to travel to all three FRCC campuses.

Please note: You need to be a Colorado resident on your first day of employment.
