Overall, the mission of the community college is threefold: to provide access to education; to provide an affordable education; and to serve the community as an education and training provider in various academic and technical areas (Friedel, 2008). In addition to the traditional mission of community colleges, stated above, community colleges have become large institutions with a comprehensive focus including the workforce development division, which typically includes in its operations the continuing education division. Therefore, a study of the faculty that serve workforce development in the community college should begin with a brief account of the structure and function of the community college, workforce development and continuing education divisions, while providing a more comprehensive review of faculty functions within the workforce development division, including faculty recruitment and selection and faculty professional development.
