Provider Network Coordinator
Job description
Network2Work@PVCC identifies individuals left behind in our economy and connects them to quality careers that pay family-sustaining wages. Using custom-built technology, Network2Work@PVCC aligns three networks: the employer network, a job-seeker network and the resource provider network. The framework relies on a robust “provider network” to help job-seekers left behind in our economy connect to resources that help them overcome barriers to employment. The Provider Network Coordinator creates processes and builds relationships with community-based organizations and agencies to provide resources to individuals who are pursuing careers paying family-sustaining wages.
The Provider Network Coordinator is responsible for maintaining and expanding relationships with community-based resource providers who can help job-seekers overcome obstacles to employment.

As such, the Provider Network Coordinator should have a good understanding of the services available to job-seekers in the PVCC region and have connections to support services through the college, community-based organizations and human service agencies. The Provider Network Coordinator will also manage the fleet of loaner vehicles which are provided to job-seekers for up to six months when they don’t have another means of necessary transportation. A collaborative approach to work is a must.
