Chester County staff working at Delaware County Community College are at the head of the class when it comes to the quality of their workplace.

A study of employee feedback as well as demographics, policies and practices by The Chronicle of Higher Education found that DCCC is not only one of the few Great Colleges to Work For but also an elite Honor Roll member.

It comes as no surprise to the men and women who are the face of DCCC; this is the seventh year in a row they’ve been lauded as a Great College to Work For.

“It is a great honor that Delaware County Community College has been recognized for the seventh consecutive year as a Great College to Work For™ and named to the Honor Roll,” President Dr. Jerry Parker said. “This distinction is a testament to our commitment to creating a community that values the needs and contributions of every individual and fosters a collaborative, supportive environment in which faculty, staff and students can succeed.”

The Chronicle assessed DCCC on its compensation and benefits; facilities, workspace and security; job satisfaction; respect and appreciation; teaching environment; and work-life balance as part of a wide-reaching survey that gleaned insights from 46,000 employees at 281 colleges nationwide.
