Job Description

About Us

At Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC), we take pride in our long-standing commitment to lifelong learning and community enrichment. For nearly 50 years, we've been a cornerstone of non-credit education, offering personal enrichment and professional development programs to the vibrant Reno community. Our program, now known as "EPIC" (Educational Programs Inspiring the Community), continues to inspire, educate, and connect people through diverse and engaging courses. With a seasonal reach of over 40,000 households, we are dedicated to making education accessible, enjoyable, and impactful.

The Opportunity

Are you passionate about workforce safety, motorcycles, and making a difference in your community through education and professional development? TMCC's EPIC program is seeking an organized, collaborative, and forward-thinking Program Coordinator to manage the operations of TMCC's nationally recognized Safety Center, coordinate our Motorcycle Rider's Course, and support the development of short-term certification programs and professional development workshops in collaboration with the Program Director.

In this role, you'll oversee all behind-the-scenes logistics-recruiting instructors, developing class schedules, coordinating with agencies like Nevada Rider, and managing budgets-for TMCC's safety trainings and motorcycle programs. You'll also provide support on EPIC's professional development and short-term certification offerings. You'll play a central role in ensuring these programs run smoothly, effectively, and in alignment with TMCC's mission to support lifelong learning and workforce readiness.

If you enjoy variety in your day, collaborating with great people, and bringing educational programs to life, this could be the job for you. You'll have the freedom to take ownership of your programs-from creation to execution-and the support of a team that values initiative and creativity.
