Employment at COCC

Effective Monday, April 18, 2022, COCC implemented a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for all employees, including benefitted employees, part-time faculty, and temporary workers such as irregular wage, work study and community education.  Upon hire, new employees will receive an email with instructions outlining how to upload proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or request a medical or religious exception.

Once you have created an online application, you will be able to login using your personal username and password to review the status of your application during the recruitment process. Completing the on-line application takes approximately 30 – 45 minutes.

Computer Literacy:
All College faculty, administrators, and staff whose jobs would benefit are expected to have or commit to acquiring significant computer literacy.

Additionally, employees will be expected to use the Internet and to integrate multimedia applications into classroom use when appropriate.

Equivalency when applying for positions:
The College recognizes the value of skills and knowledge gained outside of formal higher education and paid employment. Applicants who do not meet the qualifications indicated in the job posting, but present other qualifications or experience equivalent to those required will be considered and are encouraged to apply. To qualify under equivalency, applicants must complete the equivalency question within the application.  The equivalency statement should include supporting evidence to substantiate alternative qualifications.

Confidentiality:
Applicant information and the employment review process are confidential. COCC's processes and systems are designed to support every applicant's privacy and equal opportunity for employment. COCC utilizes a committee review process to ensure full and equitable consideration of applicant qualifications. No information will be shared outside of the committee structure process and committee members are trained in proper EEO and diversity and inclusion practices.
