Screening Committee Orientation procedures
New: The following reflects changes and additions have been made to our orientation process in order to streamline participation on screening committees.
Orientation Scheduling
Committee chairs should schedule orientations as close as possible to the beginning of a committee’s work. Once individual committee members are identified, committee chairs can call pccjobs@pcc.edu to verify the committee member’s prior orientation training (see Training/retraining Requirements below). There are two ways to schedule a hiring committee orientation:
- Call your Sr People Partner to schedule an in-person session with your committee members. Note: The Sr People Partner generally orient groups of three or more committee participants at their respective campus. See #2 below for Individual committee member training.
- Individual committee members can attend a bi-weekly general orientation session at the Cascade Campus. Staff Employment representatives facilitate General Screening Committee Orientations at 3 p.m. on the Second (2nd) and Fourth (4th) Wednesdays of each month at the Downtown Center. These sessions are intended for individuals who cannot make their scheduled group orientation session. Advanced registration is recommended but not required. To register, please call the PSEC Receptionist at 971-722-5867. These sessions are also listed on the MyPCC calendar – to subscribe, search for: Orient ations (Screening Committee). One-on-one “individual” sessions will no longer be scheduled.
Training/Retraining
Committee members must attend an in-person, facilitated screening committee orientation at least once every two years in order to stay abreast of committee practices, employment laws and affirmative action requirements.
If an individual participates in another committee within the two year period, they may satisfy orientation requirements according to the following chart:
| Years since in-person orientation | Orientation Requirement |
|---|---|
| 0 – 1 | No orientation required |
| 1 – 2 | Online refresher only* |
| 2 + | In-person orientation required |
An Online version of the Screening Committee Orientation is now available
The Online “refresher” course is available for the convenience of committee members who are not required to attend an in-person orientation. This orientation is intended to remind individual committee members of the complexities of screening committee participation, including confidentiality issues, diversity requirements and legal aspects of the selection process.
The online orientation, including questions, generally takes less than thirty minutes. To obtain web address and login instructions please contact Staff Employment at 971-722-5857 or pccjobs@pcc.edu
