Paul D. Camp Community College is a small 2-year college in Southeast Virginia. Campuses are located in Franklin and Suffolk. There also is a center in Smithfield. The college offers associate degrees, certificates, and career studies certificates in transfer and career/technical programs; credit and non-credit workforce services and training for businesses and industries; special interest classes for the community; and summer classes for youth through the Regional Workforce Development Center. A dual enrollment program for high school students, online courses, and developmental studies classes are available at the college as well.

The High School Career Coach program is a partnership program between Paul D. Camp Community College and identified public high school partners. The overarching goal of the High School Career Coach program is to help young people - particularly serving those from rural areas/school districts - to see their high school education as the beginning, not the completion, of their educational journey, empower students to make informed decisions about their career and educational plans, and prepare them for success in postsecondary education and training.

This is a professional position working closely with high school personnel, community college stakeholders, and business/industry to help secondary students easily transition to postsecondary education and successful career pathways.

PDCCC’s HS Career Coach(es) represents and promotes PDCCC and assists students with the aforementioned decisions, as well as with PDCCC applications for admission and financial aid, connections to PDCCC services and resources, and, in collaboration with Admissions and Recruitment Specialists and other college staff, ensures prospective students successfully navigate the steps to admission and enrollment - from point of “connection” to “entry” into a credit or non-credit program of study at the college.

The role of the HSCC supports the mission of the College and helps high school students define their career aspirations and to explore community college, including PDCCC , and other postsecondary programs, including apprenticeships and workforce training, that can help students achieve their educational, career, and financial goals.

This is a full-time restricted classified position. Continuation of employment is based on funding availability.
