Background:  The use of part-time faculty is important for community and technical colleges.  Part-time faculty provide a college flexibility in responding to changes in its enrollment and program needs.  Colleges regularly hire part-time faculty.  Information on current openings is not always widely available on a consistent basis.

Summary:  The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges must create an electronic job bank to act as a clearinghouse for people seeking academic teaching positions in the state's community and technical colleges.  The job bank must be accessible on the internet.

The job bank must have a separate section for the listing of part-time academic employment opportunities available at the state community and technical colleges.  Minimum features to be included in the job bank are enumerated.  The board must develop a strategy to promote its job bank to prospective candidates.
