This position is primarily located at PCC s Opportunity Center at 42nd Avenue and will provide ongoing services at multiple locations such as PCC Rock Creek, PCC Sylvania, and Swan Island campus, so travel is required weekly.

Funding for this position is through a grant funded through December 18, 2029.

This role will support the scholarship awarding process and the development of new climate-related courses for the Aerospace & Transportation Technologies (ATT) Program and the Building & Environmental Technologies & Trade (BETT) Program. The Program Coordinator will manage the full scholarship awarding process, serving as the primary point of coordination among students, faculty, academic advisors, and PCC stakeholders such as Career Pathways and the PCC Foundation.

With administrative support from a Program Specialist, this role provides overall project management to ensure the scholarship process is organized, timely, and smoothly implemented from start to finish.
