Established in 1914, San Diego College of Continuing Education (SDCCE) is among the oldest and largest noncredit institutions in the nation, serving approximately 20,000 students annually at seven campuses across the city of San Diego, at various community locations, and online. As the adult education arm of the San Diego Community College District, our students are among the most diverse in California-culturally, ethnically, and educationally-and our college is proud to be playing a preeminent role in alleviating poverty in our community.

San Diego College of Continuing Education commits to student success and community enrichment by providing tuition-free, accessible, equitable, and innovative quality education and support services to diverse learners in pursuit of lifelong learning, training, career advancement, and pathways to for-credit colleges. Our programs are specialized to address essential areas of adult education and workforce development, including short-term career training in priority industry sectors; English as a Second Language; basic skills; an Emeritus program for those 55 years old or older; and Disability Support Programs and Services. The San Diego College of Continuing Education's career training programs alone contribute a quarter-billion dollars to the San Diego regional economy each year. San Diego College of Continuing Education was one of the first noncredit institutions in the U.S. to be separately accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), recognized for its impactful community presence, innovative programs, and commitment to transforming lives through accessible education and career pathways.

At San Diego College of Continuing Education, we are committed to the principles of equal employment opportunity and to hiring qualified applicants who are dedicated to student learning and success.
