Position Summary:

CT State Advanced Manufacturing Technology Programs offers two-semester credit certificate program(s), as well as non-credit course options in advanced manufacturing. A very rigorous program demanding in both its technical nature and in the time demands required to complete this amount of work in two semesters, the program attracts both traditional students and non-traditional students who may or may not have any experience in manufacturing. Many of the students require guidance on academics, life balance issues; financial concerns; personal finance and other issues that could prevent them from completing the program.

The primary role of the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Coordinator is to execute the recruitment system to help find, evaluate, and register students into the program while also support in their completion of the program once enrolled. The recruitment system is an ongoing effort to ensure that a sufficient number of strongly qualified students enter the program. The goal is to provide enough qualified students to ensure that all seats in the program are filled at the start of each new cohort. To help sustain support for the students in the program the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Coordinator provides support services to all students, helping them to achieve their maximum academic development and assist them in the issues they face while in the program. The goal is to provide this support to achieve the best graduation rate from the AMT. The focus of the position will vary between these two primary functions through the school year. Such services may require evening and weekend hours beyond the traditional work week.

Example of Job Duties:

Under the direction of the AMT Director, and/or Associate Director, the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Coordinator is responsible of ensuring that each cohort is filled with students with a sufficiently strong aptitude for excellence in the program. Also, once the cohort is enrolled, they will be accountable for contributing to the academic and career success of all students in the program. The Advanced Manufacturing Technology Coordinator must have key skills in these essential functional areas through effective performance in these essential duties:

• Data and Reporting Activities. 
• Recruitment and Retention Activities.
• Participate in the development and maintenance of all recruitment and promotional material for the AMT.
• Assist students with commencement preparation.
• Maintain and foster relationships with all internal and external groups for the purpose of recruitment and enrollment of qualified students in collaboration with EMSA and GPA personnel.
• Recruit and guide potential students through the enrollment process in collaboration with EMSA and the Guided Pathway Advisor assigned to Advanced Manufacturing.
• Oversee the student place
