Opportunity Council - BTC - Higher Education VISTA YR2
 
 
 
Bellingham Technical College is a leading educational institution, and the only technical college, in northwest Washington State. BTC offers high-quality education in a supportive, student-first environment and has been providing skills-focused education to thousands of local and regional students since 1957. At our vibrant campus, conveniently located in the heart of Bellingham about 90 miles north of Seattle, and 60 miles south of Vancouver, BC we educate a diverse population of over 8,000 students in more than thirty associate degree and fifty certificate programs. BTC students prepare for careers in many fields, from advanced manufacturing to accounting; process technology to pastry; registered nursing to radiologic technology. Our approach is high-tech, hands-on, and student-centered. Smaller classes mean your instructors really know you, and most programs are structured so you’ll remain with your group throughout. At every step, you’ll know that BTC faculty and staff are here to support you in pursuit of your goals.

Member Duties : The VISTA member at BTC will work to implement the recommendations compiled by the first year VISTA. These recommendations vary in complexity and will require the second year VISTA to work dynamically across campus with many departments, staff, and faculty. This is an opportunity for the VISTA member to make a direct and long-lasting impact on how students access and manage funding to attend and graduate from BTC. The VISTA will lead implementation for a variety of improvements to how BTC supports students access and knowledge of funding. Examples include: working with marketing to improve website design and information; develop an FAQ to assist faculty and staff to better answer student financial aid questions; support the Workforce Funding Director in developing a new peer mentoring program, and more.
