The Search for Our Next President

North Carolina’s Community College System is at a defining moment, and we are looking for the leader who will shape what comes next.

Our 58 colleges serve more than 600,000 North Carolinians each year and power the workforce behind North Carolina’s rise as the No. 1 state for business three of the last four years. Enrollment is growing four times the national rate yet demand for talent in high-wage sectors still exceeds supply. More than one million North Carolinians are within reach of a credential that could transform their lives and strengthen our economy.

This is not a traditional role.
This is enterprise transformation at scale.

The foundation is being built with modernized systems, unified data, AI-enabled technology, and momentum is accelerating.

We are seeking a proven executive, regardless of industry who has led at scale, built high-performing teams, and delivered results with clear return on investment. Someone who operates with urgency, uses data to drive decisions, and understands that students and employers must be treated as valued customers.

This is a platform to transform lives, strengthen the state, and build a national model for workforce development.
