One local college is expanding and creating several Austin teaching jobs.
The Austin Community College District recently announced that it will create an additional 100 full-time staff positions in order to keep up with increasing enrollment. It is expected there will be openings in all fields, with positions ranging from cashiers to campus police to media technology specialists.
“This new hiring reflects ACC’s commitment to expanding our faculty and staff base as enrollment increases,” Dr. Stephen B. Kinslow, president and CEO of the Austin Community College District, told the Austin Business Journal. “We want to ensure all students have access to the same high-quality education and support services as ACC grows.”
In addition to the new hires, ACC also is planning to open its new Round Rock campus next fall. That campus will eventually measure about 600,000 square feet and serve about 11,500 students.
The hiring and expansion at ACC is a welcome contrast to the layoffs taking place at the University of Texas at Austin. That school has cut jobs across all departments in an effort to control costs and total eliminations are expected to reach 350 positions by the end of the year.
The new jobs will add to the Austin area’s thriving education industry, which has continued to see an increase in monthly and yearly employment, despite the current economic recession.
The Austin-Round Rock area’s education and health services industry employed 85,600 workers during October, according to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is up from 84,700 workers during September and a 4 percent increase from last year.
Throughout Texas as a whole, the education and health services industry employed 1,372,800 workers during October, up from 1,357,900 workers during September and a 4.5 percent increase from last year.
