Curriculum Coordinator Jobs

Job Responsibilities

South Carolina Rural Technical College Consortium (SCRTCC)

Colleges included in the SCRTCC include Northeastern Technical College (NETC), Denmark Technical College (DTC), and Williamsburg Technical College (WTC).

The SCRTCC has identified groups of students that experience persistent personal, program, and institutional barriers to enrollment, persistence, completion, and placement. Through an equity gap analysis, the three technical colleges in the consortium identified these student groups, who they call “invisible students.” The SCRTCC will develop and deliver evidence-based strategies that have been successful in addressing gaps for these student populations, including industry-aligned short-term stackable certificates, work-based learning, and support services. The SCRTCC will address the needs of “invisible students” in education and training pathways in Healthcare and Advanced Manufacturing. This project will demonstrate how a rural education and training ecosystem can address equity gaps to create successful outcomes for populations of “invisible students'' while also meeting talent needs of regional employers.
