Description
Who We Are
Benjamin Franklin Cummings Institute of Technology (Franklin Cummings Tech) is a private, non-profit, two-year technical college located in Boston.
Founded in 1908, the college proudly continues a long tradition of educating students for high-demand technical careers in a variety of industries, including automotive, advanced manufacturing, computer technology, engineering and construction management.
With a mission to deliver transformative technical and trade education that leads to economic advancement, our unique mixture of 1, 2, and 4-year programs are delivered both in-person and on-line to appeal to student's demand for flexible program delivery.
Our graduation and job placement rates are among the best in the nation among two-year colleges.
Because of our impact and outcomes, Franklin Cummings Tech received the largest gift in its history:
$12.5 million from the Cummings Foundation to continue to advance its leading-edge work in creating technical career pathways for students typically underrepresented in post-secondary education.
In FY22, Franklin Cummings Tech was the academic home to almost 900 learners.
Half of those learners were students enrolled in traditional credit-bearing programs.
The balance enrolled in a combination of continuing education and contract education programs.
In the coming years, the College seeks to boost the number of students in credit-bearing courses, while also expanding continuing education and contract education so that we are educating more than 1,000 learners a year by FY25.
All employees of Franklin Cummings Tech are expected to be passionate advocates for students and actively lead and contribute to institution-wide efforts to further improve graduation, retention rates, and career placement of our student body.
Furthermore, all staff and faculty across the institution collaborate to support student recruitment, retention, and success.
Position Summary
The Learning Specialist is an innovative, passionate advocate for students and actively leads and contributes to institution wide efforts to further improve graduation and retention rates of our student body, particularly those from the Boston
neighborhoods of Dorchester, Roxbury, and Mattapan.
The Learning Specialist coordinates disability support services,
serves as an Academic and Career Success Coach for a cohort of students and coordinates virtual and in-person tutoring.
The Learning Specialist reports to the Executive Director of Student Affairs and collaborates closely with all members of the Student Affairs team, as well as members of Academic Affairs, Enrollment Management, and faculty.
