Regional Program Manager Job at AJAC
AJAC is looking for a dynamic and engaged program manager to develop and support our apprenticeship programs. AJAC’s mission is to create industry-driven apprenticeship programs that serve the lifelong learning requirements of a 21st Century workforce. Our Regional Program Managers contribute to this goal by bringing new businesses to the program and expanding program capacity.
We have a small staff of entrepreneurial, smart and motivated team members – this work is fast and dynamic but also rewarding and highly collaborative.
As a Program Manager, you are responsible for the region of Olympia, Tacoma, Vancouver, and Portland which involves maintaining employer, apprentice, and community relationships. This position requires 20-30% travel throughout your region, though it is rarely overnight.
Your typical day as a Regional Program Manager might look like this:
- Attend a tour at a local manufacturing employer that is interested in apprenticeship programs. Understand their workforce needs and skill gaps to recommend the right apprenticeship for them.
- Travel to another employer partner site to walk a group of apprentices through the paperwork to enroll in the program. File this paperwork in our online database.
- Attend a community meeting to let them know about pre-apprenticeship programs and manufacturing training available in your local area.
- Get back to your office, and use Salesforce to track your outreach activities for the day, as well as find new leads to continue outreach.
- Respond to emails and phone calls from employers and apprentices, to answer questions about the program.
- Work with the Regional Program Manager team to develop new presentation or outreach goals, and collaborate on ways that we can expand the program.

- Are a motivated, self-starter that can exceed outreach goals without direct supervision.

- Love a flexible, and ever-changing schedule. Each day can look a little different as a program manager.
