Job Description:

Virginia's community colleges have a 50-year track record of educational excellence and innovation to serve the needs of our citizens and strengthen the Commonwealth's economy. When Virginia's General Assembly established the Virginia Community College System in 1966, the need for a comprehensive system was well known. Over the two decades after the end of World War II, leaders in government, business, professional sectors, and academia had called for a new approach to providing educational opportunity. A key concern was Virginia's ability to develop a skilled and knowledgeable workforce to expand the state's economy. Today our community colleges give every Virginian the opportunity to gain a quality education. With 23 colleges on 40 campuses located throughout the state, Virginia's Community Colleges are committed to serving Virginia families, helping them acquire the knowledge and skills to seize the opportunities of today and tomorrow.

The Grants Coordinator will assist with the administrative management of the multiple grant programs supporting efforts in Academic and Workforce Programs. The position offers an exciting opportunity to work on grant management and program initiatives to support the successful implementation of the program. The Administrative Assistant/Grants Coordinator will work collaboratively with project partners, the Virginia Foundation for Community College Education, and workforce teams
