"FIPP is a program that makes good political, economic, and strategic sense from an organizational perspective. It has been a wonderful experience. The management of the program has been superb, which is to say that the program schedule, activities, personnel, and information have been extremely useful in assisting me in learning how to better myself. My benefit translates to the benefit of both the organization and the student learner because if I can do a better job of teaching then they should do a better job learning. The group of people selected for this academic yearıs FIPP have proven to be an excellent group of people and the diversity it stimulates is provocative."
-- Roy Janisch, 2002-2003 FIPP Intern (more...)

Background
The Faculty Recruitment Commission was initiated
during the fall of 2000 and was charged with developing
strategies for faculty recruitment. Given the number of
residential faculty in the Maricopa Community College
District (MCCD) who are eligible for retirement in the
next three to five years, and the Governing Board's goal
to serve students by hiring faculty and staff who reflect
the communities we serve and who create an environment
of equity and mutual respect of each person, the
Commission's goals are to suggest changes to faculty
hiring policies and procedures, develop a "grow our
own" program, and develop and promote best recruitment
practices.
The Faculty in Progress Program (FIPP) addresses
the "grow our own" concept. It was piloted in the 2001-2002
academic year with eleven interns. During 2002-2003, fourteen interns completed the program, and continues this year with twelve new interns.
This
program is targeted at Maricopa employees who have
the potential to become competitive in the pursuit of a
residential faculty position. However, the program in no
way guarantees a job. FIPP Faculty Interns, when applying
for a residential faculty position, must complete the
same selection process as any other applicant.
This program is open to all colleges and to District
Office (DO) employees. The colleges
and the DO will actively recruit candidates in disciplines
where:
- there is an underutilization identified in the
MCCCD Affirmative Action Plan
- there is not a sufficient
applicant pool presenting desired qualifications to meet the needs of the college;
and/or
- where recruitment is generally called for under MCCCD's Affirmative Action Plan
Purpose
The main goal of FIPP is to provide the selected
Faculty Interns mentoring and professional development
activities that result in the knowledge and skills
needed to prepare them to be competitive in the
pursuit of a residential teaching position.
The focus of the program is on learning the multiple roles of faculty.
