KCTCS FELLOWS PROGRAM

KCTCS continues to focus on recruiting and retaining quality faculty and staff to achieve its mission. One strategy to address this need is the KCTCS Fellows Program, which provides an avenue to identify and employ individuals who may assist KCTCS in implementing its 2006-10 Strategic Plan goals. KCTCS Fellows Program may include students in KCTCS, or any other post-secondary education institution, or other individuals in the community that exhibit exceptional skills indicative of potential long-term employment with KCTCS.

The program components include the following parameters:

• Each college may designate one position that could be filled with a KCTCS Fellow.
• Each college may have one KCTCS Fellow, as designated by the college president.
• The normal Human Resources selection process may be waived when hiring an individual as a KCTCS Fellow.
• The KCTCS Fellow will be hired on a one-year term contract and may be renewed for a second year. At the end of two years, the KCTCS Fellow may apply for a position at the college using the normal Human Resources process.
• Under certain conditions, as approved by the KCTCS President (and where the KCTCS Fellow position implements a KCTCS 2006-10 Strategic Plan goal), the System Office will fund 50 percent of the salary of the KCTCS Fellow, for up to two years.
