The Utah Board of Higher Education is now accepting nominations and applications for the next president of Tooele Technical College.
Over the past several weeks, the Tooele Technical College Presidential Search Committee gathered feedback from students, faculty, staff, industry partners and community members through an input session, emails, and anonymous online submissions. The input directly shaped the presidential leadership profile and official job posting, and will guide the committee as it reviews and evaluates candidates.
“The feedback we’ve received from across the Tooele Tech community has provided important direction for this search,” said Lori Haines-Little, search committee chair and Tooele Technical College Board of Trustees chair. “The next president should be an authentic, collaborative leader who inspires trust, strengthens partnerships with local industry and the community, and ensures students are prepared to enter high-demand careers through hands-on, competency-based training that meets the needs of Utah employers.”
Tooele Technical College is a public technical college serving high school students and adults in Tooele County and surrounding areas. Tooele Tech provides open-enrollment, competency-based training across more than 20 certificate programs in high-demand fields, helping prepare a skilled workforce aligned to regional and statewide employer needs.
Interested candidates can learn more about the position and application process through the Tooele Technical College Presidential Leadership Profile.
The presidential search committee will review applications, conduct interviews and recommend three prioritized finalists to the Board of Higher Education, which will make the final selection in an open and public meeting. To attract the strongest possible pool of candidates and protect the integrity of the process, the search process and applicant information are kept confidential in accordance with state law.
While the Board strives to name a new president as soon as possible, it is committed to taking the necessary time to identify, evaluate and hire the best candidate for the position and its stakeholders.
