A vocational administrative director assumes the role of institutional leader for long-range planning, effectively promoting community involvement, providing for sound business and financial management, and providing facilities and state-of-the-art equipment. A vocational administrative director creates a climate that allows the management team, faculty, and support staff to function in a self-directed manner and assume responsibility for their actions.
The Vocational Administrative Director program is composed of eighty-one total competencies. The competencies include the fifty-four supervisor competencies, in addition to twenty-seven director competencies for the vocational administrative director.
