Curriculum Design & Credentialing Alignment
● Support the design and oversee credentialing curricula in various industry-aligned disciplines, including undergrad and graduate-level coursework, pedagogy training, and mentored teaching or practicum experiences that prepare instructors to deliver college-level, industry-connected coursework.
● Partner with CUNY faculty and department chairs to build and formally approve coursework that meets departmental instructional and hiring standards.
● For some programs, coordinate recruitment, selection, and preparation of program participants in partnership with school and workforce partners, prioritizing high-need industry areas such as education, healthcare, technology, and sustainability/energy.
● Track curriculum milestones, training completion, and instructor or participant placement, and support the ongoing recruitment of new participant cohorts.
Apprenticeship, Training & Industry Pathway Alignment
● Assess alignment between dual enrollment, early college, and workforce training coursework and the competencies required across apprenticeship and industry credentialing programs, identifying gaps and opportunities to strengthen alignment and reduce gaps at CUNY.
● Build and maintain a structured inventory of CUNY courses, programs, and degrees mapped to occupation-specific and standardized competencies to support alignment and credit decisions.
● Develop and formalize models for Credit for Prior Learning (CPL), advanced standing, and course placement in alignment with the relevant CUNY policies and campus academic offices, ensuring participants in training, apprenticeship, and credentialing programs can access recognized academic credit.
● Develop training pathway frameworks and learning sequences that connect applied and on-the-job training to CUNY coursework, with a focus on emerging and high-need industries.
● Maintain and periodically update career pathway and industry mapping resources that help students, advisors, and partners understand the connection between training programs, credentials, and CUNY degree pathways, micro-credentials or courses.
Student Transitions & Advising Support
● Support the development of advising tools and resources that help students and program completers translate training, apprenticeship, or credentialing experience into CUNY coursework and degree progress.
● Engage CUNY campuses to assess interest, capacity, and readiness to host and enroll students transitioning from training and apprenticeship programs, and share findings with campus and P20 Pathways leadership.
● Partner with campus advising teams to ensure students moving from training programs into CUNY receive consistent, informed guidance on credit transfer and CPL options.
● Support the design of bridge or introductory coursework that helps students without prior college exposure build the skills needed to succeed in credit-bearing coursework.
Program Development & Institutional Coordination
● Serve as a key point of contact for training providers, industry partners, and school-system partners on curriculum-related questions and credit alignment.
● Maintain documentation of curriculum decisions, articulation and CPL agreements, and course inventories to support institutional continuity, audits, and future scaling.
● Identify opportunities to expand and standardize the university’s approach to credentialing and pathway alignment, particularly with school age youth, across additional industries and partner programs.
