Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity, inclusion, and equity are core principles that guide how we cultivate leaders, build our teams, and create an environment that is the right fit for Orleans Technical College (and our parent organization JEVS Human Services) employees, our community partners, and individuals we serve.

We are committed to ensuring all our employees feel included, valued, appreciated and free to be who they are at work.  We cultivate a culture where differences are valued and are putting resources and attention towards improving employee engagement, retention, and promotion of our talented staff.  We actively grow our network of community partners and our programs to better serve our diverse community.

We understand to be engaged people must feel included, appreciated and valued.  We recognize that each employee and person we serve possess unique experiences, perspectives, and skills that contribute to our innovative work environment. Our goal is to cultivate an environment that attracts top talent, fosters innovation, and builds a strong sense of pride for our employees, community partners, and people we serve. Through our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts we place value in our people and promote a culture where everyone is encouraged to share their ideas, talents, and knowledge. We ensure that our staff and teams are best equipped to serve the needs of our diverse community by delivering quality service, innovative solutions, and fresh ideas.

JEVS Human Services and Orleans Technical College are committed to promoting a work environment where all employees and people we serve are treated with respect and dignity, while providing equal opportunities for development and advancement.
