Collin County Community College District (CCCCD) employs
approximately fifty (50) administrative and academic officers.
These administrators are qualified and competent, and have
the capacity to lead the College toward fulfilling its mission
and accomplishing its goals. Each incumbent holds the requisite
combination of academic preparation and professional work
experience, as defined in the appropriate position description
(Reference 1).
Thorough employment/hiring policies and practices (References
2, 3) help the District ensure that positions are filled
with individuals who have the capacity to perform successfully
the essential functions of the position. The foundation
of the process is the development of job descriptions that
identify the skills, academic preparation, and experience
requirements (Reference 4).
The CCCCD Web-based employment application system with
HRsmart (Reference 5) builds on that
foundation by publicizing the open positions and automatically
forwarding for consideration by search committees and hiring
supervisors those candidates who meet the academic and experience
requirements established in the job descriptions and job
announcements. Extensive interview processes and detailed
reference checks further ensure that candidates selected
for positions have appropriate preparation to be successful.
After appointment, the competence of each administrator
to continue in the assigned leadership role is assured through
annual performance appraisals and a review of goals accomplished
(Reference 6).
The District also provides many opportunities for on-going
professional growth and development of its administrators
to ensure currency of knowledge and skills, and to further
develop and expand their capacity and ability to meet the
changing needs of the District. These opportunities include
on-campus professional development and supervisory workshops
(Reference 7), a tuition reimbursement
plan for job-related courses (Reference
8), and professional leave and funding to attend appropriate
conferences and seminars (Reference 9).
