- Managing existing and seeking additional external grants and other funding (local, state, federal, foundation and corporate grants, awards and allocations) to increase opportunities for the development, enrichment and scaling of LATTC pathway innovations.
Developing and managing workforce initiatives; providing specialized training for incumbent workers and unemployed students and residents; and fostering industry partnerships to improve employment outcomes.- Creating and supporting ongoing, systematic processes and policies that improve institutional effectiveness of the college and its pathways.
