Get experience
The Faculty Internship program at Portland Community College pairs aspiring instructors with experienced college faculty in their field of expertise for a year-long experience in the teaching profession.
Get connected
The major benefit of the program is the relationship you will develop with your mentor. Interns report that they learn a great deal about teaching from observing the mentor and from teaching parts of the course in fall and winter and the majority of the course during the spring term.

PCC expects that there will be approximately six interns each academic year. For more information, or to learn how to apply, please view the faculty internship program details.
The goal of this program is to further diversify the ranks of college faculty. We hope to achieve this by introducing the profession to people who bring their diverse multicultural and ethnic backgrounds, along with a desire to be excellent community college faculty, counselors or librarians. We believe that improving the diversity and multi-cultural competence of our faculty is of critical importance in order to attract, serve and engage our diverse student body. We will consider prospective interns from any background or life experience who demonstrate the ability to bring ethnic or multi-cultural competence to a position at PCC.
