Part-Time Counselor (Non-Credit)

Southwestern Community College District

Work Site: 900 Otay Lakes Road, Chula Vista, CA 91910

Department: Counseling & Student Support Programs

District Values
Incumbents in District positions are expected to exhibit an equity-minded focus, responsiveness, and sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, gender identity, sexual orientation, and ethnic backgrounds of community college students, and employees, including those with physical or learning disabilities, and successfully foster and support an inclusive educational and employment environment.

Responsibilities:
The Noncredit (NC) program at Southwestern College (SWC) serves a range of adult learners, and minimally some high school youth. Approximately 60% are older adult students exclusively taking older adult designated courses (e.g. wellness classes and lifelong learning such as Tai Chi and Art Therapy), but there are also older adults represented in the other noncredit student categories. NC students benefit from ready, no-cost access to courses and programs centered around basic skills, career exploration/workforce readiness, college prep and student success skills, career education (formerly CTE) and ESL courses /programs. NC courses are frequently the first point of access for our South Bay community populations who are among the most underserved and underrepresented in higher education and within higher-level workforce positions. Additionally, utilizing NC educational opportunities removes any negative impact for credit students who might otherwise be reluctant to take such courses in the credit program due to concerns about unit/course load, GPA, and expending financial aid or personal funds on non-degree applicable/nontransferable courses. As the SWC noncredit program grows, courses and programs are also coming into alignment with the credit program and will create specific pathways to the credit program as well as expanded training for the workforce directly from noncredit.
