So what we want to do is put our energy into those programs that are going to get our students out into the industries\u2014into jobs that pay well and are resilient in the face of an ongoing pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re also focused on helping students who are unemployed\u2014getting them re-skilled or up-skilled to prepare for how industries have changed in the last few years, and ultimately getting them into jobs,\u201d Wyche added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a champion of student success, Susan has a lot to contribute to our Career, Technical, and Extended Education Division,\u201d said Palomar\u2019s Acting Assistant Superintendent\/Vice President for Instruction, Shayla Sivert. \u201cWe look forward to working together to achieve the Division\u2019s goals and further student success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Dean, Wyche will lead a large and diverse academic division that ranges from Architecture to Apprenticeship, Public Safety and Nutrition. The full list of Career, Technical and Extended Education programs and departments includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cooperative Education<\/li>\n<li>Architecture<\/li>\n<li>Construction Inspection<\/li>\n<li>Drafting Technology<\/li>\n<li>Fashion<\/li>\n<li>Industrial Technology<\/li>\n<li>Interior Design<\/li>\n<li>Nutrition<\/li>\n<li>Emergency Medical Education<\/li>\n<li>Apprenticeship Training<\/li>\n<li>Fire Academy<\/li>\n<li>Police Academy<\/li>\n<li>Administration of Justice<\/li>\n<li>Fire Technology<\/li>\n<li>Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration<\/li>\n<li>Auto Body<\/li>\n<li>Automotive Technology<\/li>\n<li>Cabinet and Furniture Technology<\/li>\n<li>Diesel Mechanics<\/li>\n<li>Public Works Management<\/li>\n<li>Water and Wastewater Technology<\/li>\n<li>Welding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis area of the college is key to serving the region\u2019s workforce needs, and it is a pleasure to welcome such a strong and experienced leader to the division,\u201d said Interim Superintendent\/President Dr. Jack Kahn.<\/p>\n<p>Wyche brings more than 25 years of experience in higher education, having started at San Diego State University as a liberal arts professor. She holds a Ph.D in English, has taught at Washington State University, CSU Monterrey Bay, and spent a decade working in Hawaii before returning to her roots in Redding, where she attended Shasta College as a young woman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a proud graduate of the community college system,\u201d she said. \u201cLike a lot of people, I couldn\u2019t attend a four-year college right away, so I stayed home and attended community college.
