 CONTINUING PROGRAM EDUCATION MANAGER
The School of Continuing Education is the largest provider of professional development in Southeastern Wisconsin providing year-round lifelong learning through varied venues – in our state-of-the-art classrooms in downtown Milwaukee, onsite at business locations, online and other unique locations.
The Workforce Development (WFD) Program Manager is expected to support SCE’s commitment to ‘leading change’ through competency-based programming, promoting local and global collaborations, and introducing innovative programming to remain current with customer needs and changes in the work world.
A primary responsibility for WFD Program Manager will be to reach out to employers in corporate and non-profit organizations to identify unmet training needs for business and technical roles. In addition, the WFD Program Manager will identify groups of individuals who are likely to be successful in this training such that they will be excellent candidates for promotions and new jobs.
While the focus for this position will be on the creation of new training programs for high demand business and technical jobs in southeastern Wisconsin, the WFD Program Manager may be called upon to support other program areas within SCE. Under general supervision and reporting to the Continuing Education Associate Director, the position leads and supervises all aspects of department programming and is expected to perform a wide variety of complex duties exercising good judgment and demonstrating a high level of professionalism and effectiveness in successfully supporting the delivery of face-to-face and online noncredit courses.
Communication and working with the business community, professional organizations, instructors, participants, staff and student workers are critical to the success of the programs.
