Careers Job Description
General Description
The City College of New York (CCNY), a public, 4-year Hispanic and Minority Serving Institution (HSI/MSI), was established in 1847 and is the flagship campus in the City University of New York (CUNY) system - the nation’s largest urban university system. Located in the predominantly Hispanic and African American neighborhood of Hamilton Heights, CCNY serves more than 12,000 undergraduate students per year, with more than 10,000 of these coming from New York City itself.
CCNY’s new initiative, CAPACity (Career Awareness and Pathways at City College), will build upon and expand practices from existing successful experiential learning and career development programs in the social sciences, arts, humanities, and architecture at CCNY to reach a larger portion of the student population. This initiative will focus on three areas - Career Awareness, Pathways and Skills – to improve retention, graduation, and post-graduation employment outcomes for Hispanic and low-income students. By launching new programming in The Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership (CPS), the CCNY Division of Humanities and the Arts (H&A), and the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture (SSA), CAPACity will leverage the newly established Office for Experiential Learning to create a new student career advising model; create and expand mentorship and experiential learning opportunities for students; build capacity in career services; and develop the internal infrastructure to map students’ pathways and track engagement with integrated services and experiential learning.
Reporting to the Executive Director of the new College-wide Office for Experiential Learning, the CAPACity Program Manager will ensure the success of the initiative, and manage and support all Project Activities.
