Career Advisory Committees
Purpose of the Advisory Committees
An advisory committee is a group of representatives and leaders from our education, business, government, and industry communities who advise and assist the faculty and administrators of the ÎçÒ¹AV.
Advisory Committee members are charged with the task of reviewing their assigned program area description, syllabi, career potential, admission requirements, program prerequisites classes and District certificate and/or degree requirements to determine if they align with current trends of the industry.
Specifically, the advisory committee members advise the District on the following:
- Program evaluations and needs assessments based on market trends.
- Curriculum revisions to ensure the most current and relevant information is being taught.
- Recruitment and retention of diverse faculty members and student populations.
- Procurement of program resources, equipment and facilities for instruction.
- Procurement of external learning experiences and employment opportunities where students may learn and apply their knowledge and skills.
- Professional development of faculty through workshops, conferences, and other opportunities.
- Marketing of the District’s programs, services and resources to business, governmental agencies, and community groups
