Auditor General DeFoor Highlights Expanded Job Opportunities for Community College of Allegheny County Students and Graduates
PITTSBURGH – Auditor General Timothy L. DeFoor today highlighted his department’s expanded career pathways for graduates of accredited associate degree programs in the areas of accounting, business, data analytics, finance, economics, math or another closely related field at the Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC).
“Our goal is to hire more Pennsylvanians than ever before,” Auditor General DeFoor said. “As a community college graduate, I can tell you firsthand that associate degree programs offer practical, hands-on training that prepares students for high-demand careers like auditing. That’s why I am so excited to be at CCAC to promote that the Department of the Auditor General will be hiring individuals with associate degrees.”
Previously, to be considered for a position at the Department of the Auditor General, candidates needed to hold a bachelor’s degree in accounting or finance and complete 12 credits of accounting as part of their coursework.
“This proactive initiative by the Auditor General will have a positive impact on community college students. At CCAC, we are focused on developing strategic partnerships with business and industry to connect students with family-sustaining jobs in our region. We are grateful to provide a pathway for CCAC graduates to consider important and rewarding careers in the public service sector,” said Quintin Bullock, CCAC President.
The department’s Intern to Hire Program also is expanding to include individuals who have received their associate degree in the last six months. The Intern to Hire Program offers candidates full-time positions in the department upon graduation from an undergraduate or graduate program if they work three to six months and have had successful performance reviews.
“I could go on about the benefits of working for the Commonwealth, and the job satisfaction you get from public service,” Auditor General DeFoor said. “Instead, I encourage you to find out for yourself—visit our website at paauditor.gov and explore the career opportunities we have available for you.”
