Joint Recruitment Process & Scholarships
Due to social distancing requirements the Joint Recruitment Testing Process will be modified for the 2021 testing year. The application process will continue as normal with some tweaks to requirements to help the process run as smoothly and safely as possible. We ask that all applications be turned in via email to: jfailla@cocc.edu, mailed in applications run the risk of not being processed in time due to employment shutdowns. The due date for application packets is April 1, 2021 by 5:00 p.m. PST.
This year's Joint Recruitment Process will be based on all applications received. The applicants top 3 agency selections will be processed and given to the specific agencies for review. The selected agencies will contact the applicant to establish individual department testing and/or interviews. During this time, applicants should be contacting perspective agencies for department information and agency student requirements.
Admittance into the college and placement test are required by anyone applying. This
can be completed virtually now through CAP Services at the college. A VCI background
check will also be required and the information for that will be provided as applications
start coming in.
Unfortunately Crooked River Ranch will not be involved with this years selection process,
so please make sure not to select either agency for your top 3 choices.
