Functions and Responsibilities of Occupational Advisory Committees

The occupational advisory committee is the advisory group that is closest to program operation. It provides advice directly to the instructor, and indirectly to the institution's administrators, governing board and general advisory committee. It assures the relevancy of program offerings.

An occupational advisory committee can provide advice on curriculum content; equipment, facilities and resources; career guidance and student placement; public relations and use of community resources.
