We work closely with our local communities to ensure that our core themes of education, opportunity, and enrichment are available to all.

Peninsula College Guiding Principles

The teaching/learning process is at the center of the mission of Peninsula College.
Members of the campus community will treat each other with mutual respect and dignity.
Members of the campus community will be open and honest in their communications.
Members of the campus community shall promote a positive work environment and avoid adversarial relationships.
Each member of the campus community shall act ethically and with integrity.
The campus will engage in collaborative decision-making processes.

If you share these values, we encourage you to consider employment with Peninsula College.

Peninsula College’s Commitment to Equity
Peninsula College is committed to fostering an inclusive campus community where every student and employee has access to the support and resources they need to succeed. We believe that respect, connection, and belonging are essential to learning and working well together.

Our Equity Standing Committee, with representation from across the college, guides ongoing work to review policies, practices, and professional learning to support equitable access and student and employee success. We collaborate with campus partners on continuous improvement toward a learning and working environment where everyone can thrive.

Redacted Review Hiring Process
At Peninsula College, we are committed to a fair and unbiased hiring process. To support this commitment, we use an application redaction process. Before your materials are reviewed by the screening committee, certain personal identifying details such as your name, the names of schools or organizations you attended, and affiliations that could unintentionally signal identity are removed. This helps reviewers focus on your skills, experience, and qualifications.

We encourage applicants to review their resumes and cover letters before submitting to ensure that your experience and accomplishments remain clear after redaction. If your materials rely on institution names or affiliations to explain your role, you may wish to describe the work and outcomes in your own words, so the impact is still visible to the screening committee.

Our goal is to support a hiring process that is consistent, equitable, and centered on the strengths you bring.
