Description: University College (UC) is committed to expanding access
to Tufts and transforming the lives of diverse learners across generations through innovative and high-quality educational opportunities,
career acceleration, and community connections. UC's programmatic areas include Tufts Professional and Continuing Education Programs, Tufts
Pre-College Programs, the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, and the Center for Workforce and Professional Impact. UC offers a fast-paced,
nimble environment committed to providing world class education to a wide variety of learners. UC is well-positioned to develop a
distinctive presence in the greater Boston landscape as part of a diverse and accessible institution that makes learning and engagement with
education of all kinds for all people a part of its core mission. Visit for more information and to review our new strategic plan.
One of the
defining features of the University College Strategic Plan is a new Center dedicated to expanding Tufts' commitment to social mobility by
producing research and providing cross-school educational programming that promotes career readiness and advancement for learners at all
stages and across industries and job roles. The Center will expand the existing work of the UC Professional and Custom Education team and be
integrated into this more focused and robust effort to build Tufts' reputation within professional and workforce education. In mapping out
career pathways, it becomes possible to identify gaps where Tufts might leverage existing content or initiate the development of new
non-credit and for-credit micro-credentials, certificates, workshops, continuing education units, professional development units, and
degrees for learners looking to build or enhance career skills. The Center will also serve as a research hub for andragogy (adult education)
and workforce development, producing data and tracking policies that will inform future decisions and initiatives. Additionally, the Center
will be a resource and partner on sponsored projects where research commitments are made, and professional and workforce impact is part of
the mission.
The Center is developing short, noncredit, courses targeting professionals with upskilling and reskilling needs in
healthcare, public health, nutrition, and societal impact (non-profit) sectors. To aid with this work, the Center is seeking to hire
multiple part time lecturers to design, develop, and/or teach content in the following areas:
- Change Management
- Risk
Management
- Financial Management
- Project Management Basics
- Conflict Resolution and Negotiation
- Marketing
- Communication Skills
- Data Literacy
- Data Visualization
- Design Thinking/Theory of
Change/Innovation
- Leadership
- Strategic Planning
- Writing (for Business)
- Applied Research
Methodologies
- Quality Management
- Schedule Management
Each noncredit course will be in an online format, with
both asynchronous and synchronous components, and is anticipated to take 5-25 hours for a learner to complete depending on the topic and
level of leaner outcome.
EEO Statement: Tufts University, founded in 1852, prioritizes quality teaching,
highly competitive basic and applied research, and a commitment to active citizenship locally, regionally, and globally.
